At LEAP yesterday, Daniel Kaplan, Brian Bradford, and I discussed whether DEI efforts are still legal after the Students for Fair Admissions cases last summer: 1️⃣ Yes, you can still have DEI efforts as an employer 2️⃣ BUT, these efforts cannot discriminate based on a protected characteristic 3️⃣ So consider whether your programs comply with laws like Title VII ✔ Aim for inclusive programs: anyone interested in diversity can participate ✔ Improve/expand your pool of applicants for greater diversity in hiring ✔ Focus on your work environment to be an employer of choice ✔ Ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity for success

Yesterday, I had the privilege of discussing the next steps with recent graduates as they prepare to embark on new adventures after university. Their enthusiasm was truly inspiring! Having graduated myself just last year, I recall the mix of excitement and uncertainty that comes with this transition. Here are some tips for new graduates: ✨ Explore Opportunities: Keep an open mind to industries and roles to discover your interests. ✨ Network Wisely: Build connections with alumni and professionals on platforms like LinkedIn and through events. ✨ Continuous Learning: Embrace growth opportunities through online courses and workshops to enhance your skills continually. There is always room for improvement. ✨ Seek Guidance: Finding the right opportunity for you can be challenging so, don’t hesitate to seek career advice and support. Leeds Trinity University offers graduates up to three years of career support following graduation. For more information, reach out to careers@leedstrinity.ac.uk Congratulations to all the graduates!🎓🥳Your journey is just beginning, and I look forward to seeing your successes unfold. #LTUCompleted

“The future of work is now and you’re either prepared or falling behind. Thanks to technology and the dynamics of modern industry, the rapid pace of change requires agility and adaptability like never before. I’m excited to be discussing these topics, and more, with visionary thought leaders at the learning summit event this fall.” —Richard Freishtat, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Duke Executive Education, on the evolving workplace and the importance of professional development.

My dream for the higher education side of public administration in Wisconsin: - The existing UW Oshkosh, UW Green Bay, and UW Milwaukee MPA programs form a single system wide MPA program. - UW LaCrosse, who has a great undergrad PA program, also becomes part of the system-wide MPA program. - We create accelerated 4+1 programs that connect undergraduate majors across system schools to the system-wide MPA program so that students can obtain an in-demand credential that sets them up for career success. - We create a statewide advisory board of public service professionals to ensure our offerings match workforce needs. - We create a statewide internship program that gives our students resume-building skills, provides needed work for state and local governments, and strengthens the student to career pipeline. - We establish an applied research center attached to the system-wide MPA program to provide research, trainings, and customized services to government entities throughout Wisconsin. I've thought about ways to accomplish this, there are always piecemeal agreements and MOUs we can pursue, but I think legislation is ultimately how we could get there. I'm sure there are flaws in my logic, but doesn't it make sense to: - Build more career pathways for liberal arts undergrads? - Incentivize collaboration for programs in a common system as opposed to perpetual competition between under-resourced programs? - Provide a vehicle for research based solutions for Wisconsin governments? - Focus the talent in our university system towards making a practical visible impact on communities across Wisconsin? Let's bust down these silos.

This is huge. More from VP Harris demonstrating a true commitment to an Opportunity Economy: “For far too long, our nation has encouraged only one path to success: a four-year college degree. Our nation needs to recognize the value of other paths, additional paths, such as apprenticeships and technical programs. As President, I will get rid of the unnecessary degree requirements for federal jobs to increase jobs for folks without a four-year degree, understanding that requiring a certain degree does not necessarily talk about one’s skills. And I will challenge the private sector to do the same.” https://lnkd.in/eeCnEE5t
