It was once the “golden ticket” to the American dream. But the value of a college education, specifically a 4-year degree, is no longer what it was. Companies are dropping degree requirements. And replacing them with in-house training programs. Higher ed still has a place in learning and workforce readiness. But the future won’t look like the past.

Key Decision Maker in Mission-Critical Higher Education Enhancement Initiatives / Fiercely Committed to the Power of Education to Improve the Human Condition / Consistently Champion for Diversity and Inclusion
In today's rapidly changing educational landscape, the need for leadership to strategically plan and ensure the relevancy of smaller colleges across the U.S. has never been more critical. With over 3,900 smaller institutions nationwide, it is essential for leaders to analyze and evolve in ways that secure our future. Unlike in the past, where educational institutions could afford to move slowly, the current pace of change demands a proactive approach to creating the college of the future. President Alex Hernandez's op-ed addresses this necessity, outlining what it means to build a forward-thinking college. At Champlain College, we are intentionally redefining our approach by focusing on what our students are seeking and need from their college experience. This includes innovative curriculum design, enhanced support services, and strategic use of technology to ensure that we are not just keeping up with the changes but leading them. By prioritizing student-centric strategies and continuously adapting to emerging trends, we are positioning our institution to thrive in the coming years. The future of higher education lies in our ability to remain relevant and responsive to the evolving needs of our students, and at Champlain College, we are committed to leading this charge.

"Today, the relationship between schooling and success, at least as it relates to landing a good job that grows into a career, is less clear-cut. Attending school is not enough, and even those who tick all the traditional boxes (good school, high levels of engagement, and good grades), are facing significant roadblocks to gaining a foothold in the workforce."

Vice President @ Texas Association of Community Colleges| Executive Director @ Texas Success Center | Executive Coach, Leadership Development
I joined a panel conversation today at the Texas Dual Credit Association (TDCA) Summit, where we delved into the critical role that community colleges play in developing a skilled talent pipeline to meet Texas' growing workforce needs. With participants from across the state, our conversation highlighted key themes shaping workforce development and the transformative potential of career and technical education (CTE) dual enrollment. A special thank you to DEDE GRIFFITH for the invitation, and it was wonderful reconnecting with my CCRC friends including Aurely Garcia Tulloch, John Fink and Davis Jenkins, who delivered an outstanding morning session on their research in Dual Enrollment and its impact on student success. Their insights set a strong foundation for the day! 🌟 Here are some key takeaways from the session: 1️⃣ Dual Enrollment as a Workforce Solution: Texas is seeing a marked shift towards CTE dual enrollment as a response to employers’ needs. By allowing high school students to earn college credits and build essential skills early, these programs are fostering a well-prepared, entry-level workforce for industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and technology. 2️⃣ The Texas Success Center's Role in Workforce Pathways: At the Texas Success Center, we’re committed to supporting colleges as they design CTE programs aligned with labor market needs. Through professional development, data tools, and research, we empower colleges to build pathways that lead students directly into high-demand, high-wage careers. 3️⃣ Trends in Workforce Preparation: Across Texas, trends like work-based learning, industry-aligned credentials, and digital skills training are equipping students with real-world experience and tech competencies. These initiatives help bridge the gap between classroom learning and workplace demands, setting students up for success from day one. 4️⃣ Engaging Employers and Secondary Partners: Community colleges are essential in aligning programs with industry needs. By working with employers on curriculum design, creating hands-on learning opportunities, and building pathways with high schools, colleges are closing skills gaps and creating seamless transitions for students. This summit underscored a powerful truth: building the workforce of tomorrow requires collaboration today. Together with industry, education, and government partners, we can create a talent pipeline that serves not only our students but the broader Texas economy. 💼 What’s Working at Your Institution? How are you supporting workforce development and strengthening partnerships with industry? Let’s share insights and strategies to continue building a skilled, resilient Texas workforce! #WorkforceDevelopment #HigherEducation #TexasEducation #CTE #DualEnrollment #TexasSuccessCenter #TDCA

Such a VITAL conversation.

Invest in your people and it’ll pay dividends long term. #invest #peoplefirst
Senior Leader Guiding Higher Ed Through Challenges & Opportunities | Speaker | Education & Data Nerd
The Real Crisis in Higher Education: What incentives are there for the best and brightest early and mid-career professionals to thrive? Let’s face it—higher education is facing a talent drain. We talk about student success, but what about the success of those who make it all possible? The truth is, our brightest early and mid-career professionals are disappearing. Where’s the incentive for them to stay? Stagnant salaries and limited growth opportunities are driving them away. Meanwhile, industries outside of higher ed are luring them with better pay, more flexibility, and a culture of innovation. If we don’t start investing in these professionals—through leadership development, competitive compensation, and a commitment to their growth—we’re setting ourselves up for a future where higher ed struggles not just to attract and retain the talent it needs to innovate and flourish. The ripple effect of this neglect will be felt in every classroom, every department, and ultimately, in the futures of the students and communities we serve. I’m continuing to make the bet—decisions we make now about who we invest in will have the largest impact on higher education over the next two decades.

3moAfter the holiday break the first bullet point on my agenda is to develop partnerships with business to hopefully develop programming. I’d love to create corporate training like opportunities for upskilling and reskilling. On the CE side it is a bit easier to develop the programs since I have less hoops to jump through.
