Red Sox Foundation’s Post

🔥 Absolutely love this post! 🔥 Being a first-generation student, my experience playing baseball at the community college level paved the way for my Division 1 aspirations, my Bachelor's degree, and even a career in professional baseball. Now, I'm passionate about supporting and advocating for community college student-athletes. That's why I pursued my Masters in College Counseling and Student Development – to give back to students aiming for higher education and athletic success.

This week, Dalton Education students are sitting down to take one of the toughest exams of their lives in hopes of earning the prestigious CFP® designation. Luckily, they've prepared for the exam with the industry leader in CFP® prep. Dalton's study materials and support are second to none, but the real advantage they have going into the exam is that they've learned from Dalton's outstanding expert faculty like Senior Instructor Ronald Scott who shared these exam-week tips to help Dalton students optimize their performance. #CFP #CFPExam #FinancialPlanning

Super fun time speaking with current marketing students at University of Portland - including a few students I’ve previously had in class! Hopefully my hot takes weren’t too hot 😄 Some highlights: - Don’t blanket add people on LinkedIn; invest in relationships with contacts you make like you would anyone else! - Your grades don’t matter as much as your ability to demonstrate responsibility and follow through (which more often than not ends up being reflected in your grades anyways). - Leverage college as an opportunity to learn how to think critically and connect with folks who hold different perspectives and experiences than you. Empathy and wisdom will take your career higher and farther than solely focusing on being a high performer by yourself. We need to be able to serve alongside others!

2023 for me was a year of personal growth and professional development. The highlight of the year were courses in Strategic Decisions and Risk Management through UT’s Texas Executive Education program. Looking forward, I’m excited about continuing my learning and improvement journey in 2024 by focusing on building awareness and applying the processes and behaviors that promote improved decision making both at work and at home to ensure Decision Quality. What will you be learning about in 2024 to continue your personal/professional growth? #DecisionQuality #leadershipdevelopment #MitigatingBiases #strategicdecisionmaking #continuouslearning #criticalthinking

Brian Raines thoughtfully explains the continuing challenges faced by those of us who come to the profession from atypical circumstances. He also exemplifies the life-changing power of higher education. As we continue to grapple with the many challenges facing higher ed, it is essential to stay focused on stories like Brian's. I often wonder what the world would be like had we not spent most of human history excluding people from education and limiting their potential based on accidents of birth. While we will never know what we could have created, it is clear to me that destroying a system that in a very short time has created incredible intellectual capital, improved the human condition immensely, and overall made our world a better place is foolish. Yes, higher ed needs to be made better. We need to prioritize student success and support, we need to embrace meaningful intellectual diversity, we need to be better citizens of the spaces we occupy. However, there is no scenario in which those shortcomings warrant the wholesale destruction of the best system of education the world has ever known. Many of us on the inside know this and are fighting to protect one of our country's most valuable assets. Those of you on the outside need to join us in the fight. The world's most creative and successful economy was built on the foundation created by higher education. Destroy the foundation and the structure will crumble.
