With a New Formula, U.S. News Rankings Boost Some State Universities U.S. News & World Report released on Monday the results of what it said was the most substantive overhaul of its 40-year-old college rankings empire. At the top, there were few changes as #Princeton remained the nation’s top-ranked university, followed by M.I.T., with #Harvard and Stanford tied for third. Williams maintained its stature as the nation’s top liberal arts college, and Spelman College again led among historically Black institutions. But more than a dozen public universities, many of them with relatively low profiles, climbed at least 50 spots in the rankings. #Fresno State moved up 64 places, to No. 185, for instance, and Florida Atlantic ascended 53, to No. 209. Many other public institutions recorded smaller, if notable, gains, like Rutgers, which saw each of its three campuses rise by at least 15 places. #usa #unitedstates

Opening global opportunities 🗺️ 🌐 The U.S. Department of State has recognized #UMassAmherst as a Fulbright Top Producing Institution — one of the nation’s universities with the highest number of students, faculty and administrators selected for the prestigious Fulbright U.S. Student and Fulbright U.S. Scholar Programs for the 2023-24 academic year. Out of the 170 colleges and universities recognized overall, UMass Amherst is one of only 12 institutions recognized for both the Fulbright U.S. Student Program and the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program this year.

In my first semester pursing my Masters of Science in I/O Psychology at Baruch College, a debate in class began around AI's impact on Human Capital, particularly around its ability to understand and react to human emotions and the implications for call center and customer service representatives. The conversation swirled around typical things: comfort level with AI replicating human emotion, and job security for workers in that industry. Until a classmate said, "I've worked in a call center and I work at a grocery store now. I never want to be on the receiving end of an angry customer service call ever again. Let AI take the calls where people are often unkind and forget they're talking to a human anyway." In that moment, the importance of having diverse voices and experiences in the room really struck me. How often is the perspective of the call center worker included in these theoretical conversations? It's just one of the many reasons my education at Baruch has been so enriching. Go, Baruch!
Today's NYTimes is a must read where Baruch College is praised as "an Upward-Mobility Machine" and "a model college in a new report on diversity in higher education." Excerpt below: “There are very few colleges in the country like Baruch,” said Josh Wyner of the Aspen Institute, which helps run the American Talent Initiative. Indeed, among all U.S. colleges with a graduation rate above 70 percent, Baruch may be the most economically diverse. It both holds down tuition costs and creates clear pathways for students to earn degrees, Wyner said.

The burgeoning costs of higher education, soaring by 169% since 1980, pose significant barriers to obtaining a college degree, despite its undeniable value in enhancing employment prospects and lifetime earnings. A recent Lumina Foundation-Gallup 2022 study revealed a mere 9% of Americans believe in the accessibility of quality, affordable higher education for all. In light of this, some remarkable individuals have turned their personal success in securing scholarships into thriving businesses aimed at mitigating this challenge. Derrius Lamar Okiro Quarles, a Morehouse College alum, transformed his experience of obtaining over $1 million in scholarships into Million Dollar Scholar, a venture offering guidance and resources for scholarship seekers. Similarly, Gabriella Carter, a Princeton University graduate who garnered more than $2 million in scholarships, leverages her "Free Money Maven" platform to distribute her knowledge widely. Christopher Gray's Scholly, which gained traction from a Shark Tank feature, recently became freely accessible to all users after being acquired by Sallie Mae, emphasizing its mission to alleviate student debt. These enterprises not only spotlight the entrepreneurial spirit of individuals overcoming financial hurdles to higher education but also underscore the critical need for innovative solutions in the scholarship domain. With over $100 million in scholarship opportunities now accessible through these platforms, they provide a beacon of hope for students navigating the complex landscape of college funding.
