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

It’s both incredibly short-sighted, a disservice to the community, and more than likely—a game of political opportunism when liberal arts colleges come under attack—even worse so when they close. Regardless of your personal politics, there’s nothing “liberal” about liberal arts—no more so than now in 2024 versus 1844. We simply can’t pivot society overnight to STEM-only colleges and/or corporate careers, nor can or should we cherry pick institutions to recruit and/or hire from. We need employees and community members who can effectively communicate in writing and verbally, have top-notch presentation skills, pick up context clues by just reading an email or memo, and we need those who can make sense of the important work being done in the STEM field, but explained in a way the rest of us can “get it” and understand. All of that is liberal arts education, so respectfully, don’t ask for people who can communicate effectively if you only want STEM candidates—it simply doesn’t work that way. As a product of a liberal arts education, someone who was/is very familiar with what BSC brought to the Birmingham community, and a neurodivergent learner myself, the ongoing losses of liberal arts institutions is disheartening. The state of Alabama and the city of Birmingham lost a great resource in a region where there aren’t many. Don’t think it can’t happen elsewhere, folks. #LiberalArtsMatter

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!
