From 2022-2024 CAEL worked with four postsecondary institutions in Texas on improving outcomes for adult and Latino adult learners. Now, the findings from our independent evaluator Ithaka S+R are out! Spoiler alert: all institutions made significant progress in their areas of focus, and many overall lessons emerged that can be applied to any institution interested in pursuing similar goals, including: 📊 Use data to build a business case for developing an intentional strategy for targeting and supporting adult learners 👩🎓 Adult learners themselves are valuable partners in identifying strategies for improvement 📣 Focus on building broad awareness of these programs among staff, faculty, and students To read the full report see below:

🌿 Did you know Seattle's enchanting nickname, "The Emerald City," is inspired by its lush greenery that flourishes throughout the year? I'm thrilled to be on my way to Seattle, ready to immerse myself in the NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education conference. It's an opportunity to grow, learn, and connect with my higher ed colleagues. In my latest blog post, "Beyond the Badge: NASPA in the Emerald City," I share my strategies for maximizing the value of these precious days. Dive into the conversation in today's blog: https://lnkd.in/eeeweJez

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." Albert Einstein From the time we are young, we are posed with the question of what we want to be when we grow up. We respond to this question based on examples of the professionals in our environments or that are repetively observed in the content that we engage in at that time of our lives. As we get older, we tend to base our answers on our values as they are the foundation of our passion and purpose. I believe what leads us closer to that answer is our experiences with time. At that, our actual career paths could change but are usually interconnected and make a full-circle. I would reference the students that I connected with as our future leaders but that would be a discredit to them. They're already leading us, today. As for me, they are the primary reason that I am in the field of Higher Education. It's events such as Challenge Tomorrow that we had the honor of hosting at our campus that are foundational for our youth. It's through these interactions and experiences that they learn there are unlimited oppurtunities that they could pursue at anytime of their lives. It allows them to hone in on the ones that they feel called to and possibly even re-imagine or imagine new roles that could positively impact the world around them. After all, that's how we create change. Most importantly, they're reminded that they are not alone and have a support system. No matter where one finds themselves, each of our contributions are equally as valuable as any other. Thank you for taking the time to join me in my late night reflections.

Great advice for aspiring higher education leaders, and good morning!
