Leadership West’s Post

By 2031, good jobs that are accessible to those with only a high school education will represent just 5% of all jobs, while 70% of jobs will require postsecondary education. Yet fewer than half of all young people in the United States have the postsecondary education needed to succeed in our economy, and we are confronting significant inequities in educational outcomes. Join us on December 4 for an online panel discussion with community college leaders about how we might advance postsecondary leadership in building pathways that connect high school, college, and careers, a priority we've named for our pathways work. #pathways #communitycollege #careerpreparation https://lnkd.in/dUQZ5CbX

Did you know Tom Hanks got his start in the community college system? Happy Community College Month! Here's a snapshot of why I believe YOUR community college is the cornerstone of learning and opportunity: ⇨ Accessibility: They open academic doors for nearly half of the U.S. undergraduate population, democratizing higher education. ⇨ Affordability: Their lower tuition fees break down financial barriers, making dreams attainable for many. ⇨ Economic Catalysts: They fuel regional economies with skilled workers by aligning programs with local industry needs. ⇨ Lifelong Learning: They offer a sanctuary for continuous growth, from degree programs to personal enrichment courses. With that playful Tom Hanks signature smirk, 🥂 Let's raise a glass, or a textbook, whichever you have handy, to the unsung heroes of higher education. 🙌🏼 #edleadership #edleader #highered #higheredleadership #teamdevelopment #cancelaverage #leadership #leadershipdevelopment

ARTIFICIAL EVOLUTION: Homo Sapiens to Arti Sapiens Are we ready for the next stage in human evolution? What will it mean to live as Arti Sapiens? In a world where technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, we are witnessing a remarkable transformation in the evolution of our species. My new book, ARTIFICIAL EVOLUTION: Homo Sapiens to Arti Sapiens, delves into this fascinating journey—from our origins as Homo sapiens to the emergence of a new era defined by Artificial sapiens.

As we integrate more technology into our biology, the line between man and machine blurs, giving rise to a new form of life—Arti Sapiens. Read More - https://lnkd.in/dSrEpsgW

Should higher ed be everything to everyone? I’m noticing a trend right now in that direction: - community colleges offering 4-year degrees - liberal arts schools offering hard science specializations - public university systems offering PhD programs. There is nothing wrong with adapting and evolving. It’s critical if schools hope to remain relevant. Society is changing; higher ed should, too. But those changes should be guided by fulfilling your school’s unique mission. Who are you here to serve? You can try to be everything to everyone. But in my experience, schools succeed when they are true to themselves. #highereducation #highereducationleadership

Two of the many thoughts 💭 that resonated with the team at University of Northern Colorado today. Prospective students will tell you what they don’t like and what their concerns are about college, your school, etc if you ask better questions. Answering a student’s question is great, but improving your level of responsiveness by being more curious and asking follow up questions will help you be more memorable. #highered #higheredmarketing #higheredleadership #emchat
