After nearly 5 years, I will be retiring from @UOPX. I am #humbled and #grateful for this incredible experience. My successor, George A. Burnett, is a great leader and the right leader for @UOPX's future. https://t.co/6OzHVBxlCA.

The @UOPX Career Optimism Index found that 50% of all workers have contemplated a career change (https://t.co/LLwySpFcdM). What advice would you offer someone contemplating the leap?

1 of 2: Tomorrow is #Juneteenth a reverent date in our nation’s history, now a federal holiday, and something we honor @UOPX through our actions within our communities and our University, including our new #EquityChallenge.

[Peter Cohen @PeterCohenUOPX]

2 of 2: Developed by @eddieknowsmoore of @got_privilege the #EquityChallenge is a habit-building exercise that encourages you develop a deeper understanding of how inequity and racism affects our communities. Learn more here: https://t.co/cAQ8dF7Brz

Great conversation with @jfftweets, @degreed & @2Uinc about the importance of #LifelongLearning & the role of #highered & the #workplace. Recording of this conversation opens on 6/22 @ 12 pm EST as part of #JFFHorizons expanded programming. Watch here: https://t.co/cAaacL41Ci

34% of workers surveyed in the @UOPX Career Optimism Index say their #mentalhealth has negatively impacted their work performance during the pandemic, but the #stigma attached prevents most people from opening up. What can #employers do to foster a more supportive environment?

[Peter Cohen @PeterCohenUOPX]

@UOPX's #CareerOptimismIndex found that 55% of workers need help connecting with others in their current or desired field, and 54% need help finding a mentor. Please plan to tune into this webinar from @axios on the future of work and #highered's role: https://t.co/k6lacElDq2

Two in three Americans believe their #career is a major part of their identity, but 42% of them don’t know what steps to take to advance professionally. The drivers highlighted by the @UOPX Career Optimism Index™ can help: https://t.co/PYvaprInr3

On behalf of the @UOPX community, congratulations to alumnus Steven Soares, who has been appointed by @GovSisolak to the Nevada Commission on Postsecondary Education! https://t.co/dSLO99wbgf

#HigherEd equals lifelong learning, especially for working adult learners. Read in @Evolllution about how @UOPX is answering that call: https://t.co/ecjXGPgFds

Immensely #proud of @UOPX's successful completion of UPCEA’s Hallmarks of Excellence in Online Leadership program! This designation, in UPCEA’s words, recognizes “the consistent excellence throughout its online enterprise” of our university. Well done! https://t.co/Z13yO3vMDW

[Peter Cohen @PeterCohenUOPX]

73% of students want to take fully online courses in the future, according to the Digital Learning Pulse survey. This doesn’t come as a surprise to us at @UOPX: online courses have provided access to higher ed for years - particularly for adult learners. https://t.co/RqrluL3xln

[Peter Cohen @PeterCohenUOPX]

#CareerOptimismIndex study pointed to a need for mentors. @wsjournal article highlights the importance of networking. @UOPX we have Career Advisors dedicated to showing you how to access both: https://t.co/uYeobGvXrK

Our Career Optimism Index™ (https://t.co/SpvFew4dtE) revealed that American workers are feeling anxious about their career futures. The pandemic has likely exacerbated that and, for some, returning to an office environment is making it worse: https://t.co/BYtRG56Zgc.

Glad to see Congress has reintroduced the bipartisan College Transparency Act. It will bring needed transparency to #HigherEd and help students make informed decisions. https://t.co/rAi5juuDG0
