Follow-up to the Lumina Foundation report on their HBCU adult learner initiative: One of the most interesting insights I gained from supporting Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) last year is that many of their adult learners desire a "full college experience." They want to feel as valued as traditional students and integrated into the campus community. This is a different sentiment from research I've conducted at PWIs, where adult learners often want to get in and get out without much fuss. One key action step that arose: Design an adult learner "Signature Student Experience" that starts from application and extends to alumhood. For HBCUs, which are deeply rooted in tradition, incorporating elements of the student experience such as Greek life, band, choir, and other traditions can significantly enhance the adult learner experience and provide them with the enriching college journey they seek - and frankly, pay for.

Take it from a guy who goes by an abbreviation of his middle name: it's important to learn and use preferred names.

What we learned: 1. Don't let #insecurities make you change course. Other people might be doing things a little differently, but that doesn't necessarily mean your plan is wrong. 2. Take a breath and set your #intention. When you focus on the experience you want to create, you will likely create it, even if your words are imperfect. 3. Keep your head in the game. If you make a mistake, focus on and take the best next action to get the #results you want. #Resilience #Persistence #Winning #PublicSpeaking

Corporate College recently had the incredible opportunity to host executive leaders from 100 Black Men of America, Inc. for their executive leadership retreat. I had the privilege of leading a session titled "Education's Post-Pandemic Evolution: What We Provide Matters," and later joined Herman Bulls, vice chairman and international director at JLL, to discuss "Organizational Leadership, Governance, and Impact." Educational leaders, how do you see the role of education evolving in the post-pandemic world? 

It's good work with good people. As simple and fab as that.
