Tomorrow's leaders (read today's students) deserve examples of current leaders who embrace the value of civil discourse and meaningful compromise. True leaders are strong because they listen, work to understand differing views, and bring people together. https://t.co/QBkjRXXAyg

Henry Ford College president: Story of pregnant student in labor at graduation is reminder of why we need to meet students where they are. From @PresRussK https://t.co/KRmctC2DbX via @freep

[President Russ Kavalhuna @PresRussK]

When we meet students where they are, we:

1-enroll more students who deserve accesss,
2-help them stay in college despite life's hurdles,
3-see more graduates who stay where they learn, and
4-answer employers' needs for skilled workers.
