New York Ed's embrace of innovative graduation requirements aligns with our mission to rethink the Carnegie Unit. By moving away from traditional seat time and introducing a competency-based approach, NYSED is championing a future where learning meets the diverse needs of all students. THIS is the change we're advocating for at Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. https://hubs.li/Q02xySny0

Can't wait for our second annual Student Success US conference. I'll be moderating some panels and workshops as well as presenting in a few sessions--including one about new survey results and a speed session where attendees will get a few dozen ideas to "try at home." I can assure you that Dr. Amber Williams and the rest of her team will be fantastic hosts -- she is one of the most passionate student success champions I know. Here's what Williams, who worked in enrollment management prior to student success roles, said about professional development for student success leaders during a Q&A article interview last year (link in comments): <<<Much of my professional development is reading journals from faculty specializing in college student success, articles in Inside Higher Ed and other reported national trends. I’m still very well connected with my enrollment management colleagues, which greatly benefits me in understanding what’s happening from a prospective student perspective and the experience students have before they enroll. I’m also growing my relationship with academic affairs colleagues across the country through conferences and organizations. Our students are constantly changing, and the moment we, as educators, stop learning with them, we won’t be able to support them. Understanding where students are and what they need to thrive is critically important.>>> To phrase that last bit another way, come to our conference so you can get perspective and ideas to help your students thrive!

Start of a new academic year in National College of Ireland, my 22nd year!! Looking forward, but also looking back on some great memories since I joined in August 2003, and remembering two special people who are no longer around but never forgotten: Eoin Fennessy (Class of 2004) and Dr John J Lynch. #highereducation #university #alumni #accountingeducation #financialeducation #businesseducation #businessresearch

For the first time in MSU's 131-year history, the spring enrollment has surpassed 16,000 students. The university's total full-time equivalent (FTE) also hit a high of 14,216. This is a sign that students are taking more courses per semester, which not only puts them on track to graduate in four years but also saves them money on tuition. (Students do not pay tuition for credits beyond the first 12 they take per semester.) Also, MSU's number of first-time students who remained for a second semester of classes remained steady this spring at an impressive 90.2% and the overall student retention rate is at an impressive 92.8%. "That's remarkable persistence from our students," said Steve Swinford, VP for Student Success. "We are immensely proud of this spring enrollment because it shows how hard students are working to pursue higher education, stay enrolled and make progress toward their college degree from Montana State University," said MSU President Waded Cruzado. Jabs is one of the three largest colleges at MSU and our spring enrollment was 2,044 students.

Check out this article, highlighting our event and partnership with South Texas College. "At the third annual South Texas College Summit for Dual Credit Programs, in collaboration with the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP), more than 300 participants representing nearly 34 states gathered for a three-day event of learning, collaborating, and networking. Dual credit provides the opportunity for high school students to earn college credits and even an associate degree, while in high school. Dual Credit programs have saved families millions of dollars in tuition costs."

Here is the list for all of you looking to attend college next year or for those of your parents that has a kiddo or two on the launchpad 🚀🎓🚀🙋♀️🙋♂️🙏 I guess there are at least three questions that come immediately to mind … 1) is an elite college the gateway to success it used to be? 2) With so many alternative educational opportunities available eg. OnlineEd, Skilled Trades, etc..are these schools worth the cost? And 3) Where am I going to find the money? 💰💰💰 Let’s face it while most of us would love our kids to attend one of these schools, the reality is, the cost of higher education in the US is #wayoutta hand… Makes you stop and think about the alternatives of just diving into one of these institutions Straight Outta high school. I know a lot of families that have chosen #communitycollege and/or #skilled trades as an alternative. In California, if you do well in your first two years at a CC, can generally get into any number of great schools 🤙 Anyway, food for thought 🤔🫶🧐 https://lnkd.in/eF9u3NSs

This is for real! A college education for someone you know. If you are reading this that means we are connected, and you may be able to provide someone you know with the opportunity of a lifetime. At HJC we are launching a new Associate of Classical Liberal Arts program that has been developed to be more than just an education. It is a transformative journey. Imagine a college program that is about exploring the greatest ideas of civilization to develop your own independent thought. There are also some other significant differences in this program. The first is delivery- students work online and then come together at the end of each quarter for a few days at a live engagement event. Second, rather than reading textbooks, students engage with the original material. In other words, instead of reading what someone else says about Plato and Aristotle, students read the original work and form their own ideas and opinions. We are launching the new program this Fall with the inaugural group beginning Sept.23, 2024. 20 scholarships covering 100% of tuition. 20 scholarships covering 75% of tuition 20 scholarships covering 50% of tuition The scholarships do not cover travel or lodging while attending the live engagement events at the end of each quarter. If you know of someone who might be interested in this, contact me here on Linkedin or shoot me an e-mail at admissions@hjc.edu. This might be the exact kind of program for your son, daughter, niece or nephew, or the bright neighbor that just needs a little nudge, etc.- this program is also ideal for students with a homeschool background or anyone looking for a different kind of college experience.
