A great college that produced several of the folks from their healthcare programs who saved my life last year.

@brandon_skwira @MinnStateCTE @MinnStateEdu @MnOfficeHiEd @MinnStateCareer So Minnesota State is doing several of the things you mention--we can always do better, but great points and largely we agree. Sorry this is out of nowhere, just ran across in it notifications and wanted to respond.

[Larry Handlin @LarryHandlin]

@brandon_skwira @MinnStateCTE @MinnStateEdu @MnOfficeHiEd @MinnStateCareer Sorry, I missed this back then, but I wanted to point out that you make great points about alternative credentials and online learning. Minnesota State is working with a Coursera effort right now for several certifications and we have been doing more short term trainings.

[Larry Handlin @LarryHandlin]

@brandon_skwira @MinnStateCTE @MinnStateEdu @MnOfficeHiEd @MinnStateCareer hands on training. Also, some students need a different level of support especially as they start out and hopefully will find the resources you mentioned helpful in the future.

[Larry Handlin @LarryHandlin]

@brandon_skwira @MinnStateCTE @MinnStateEdu @MnOfficeHiEd @MinnStateCareer Brandon, I think your point about other resources is great and for someone in your position that is a great option. Many of the programs are not IT based, but include programs like welding or say working on wind turbines. For those types of skills it's difficult to simulate

Yes, I have a few thoughts about the @CollegeBoard Environmental Context Dashboard, and I even say a few nice things about the company. Really. I do.

This is a great article about providing better care to students without dramatically increases resources. The core of the effort was process mapping and then identifying the barriers to care and eliminating those barriers. It is a lesson that can be carried across universities

Astounding and disturbing data from @ADL about white supremacist incidents around college campuses in 2018. College administrators need a plan in place if an incident like this were to happen on campus.

[Larry Handlin @LarryHandlin]

While I'm not able to spend much time on this right now, this is a critical infrastructure issue and the larger providers aren't going to solve it--they are the barrier.

The industry profit timelines don't allow for the longer time frames needed.

institutions, but the universities are not fundamentally research institutions. It shouldn't be reinvention that Minnesota State is looking at, but being the best at what the institution was designed to be.

[Larry Handlin @LarryHandlin]

This is a leadership challenge of not knowing what your mission is. Rosenstone and the Board wanted to be on the front page for cutting edge research, but Minnesota State is fundamentally a system about teaching undergraduates. There is some great research done at those
