@CCTrustees I think the culture of lifting each other up is a key piece as well - I see that among @CCTrustees members interacting with each other. A genuine commitment to sharing knowledge and helping each other and our colleges and students succeed.
@HigherEdAshleyW@CCTrustees@NewAmericaEd@Gallup Allowing students to really see themselves as part of the college community speaks to, I think, the role of community college in outcomes like self-confidence, identity development - "softer" outcomes than getting a job, for example, but an important part of the value proposition
@Irisonhighered Love this! I also think of "community" broadly - community colleges connect students to the knowledge they need to succeed in their workplace community, contribute to the local economy, and succeed in and interact with a global community.
And that's a wrap for #NLS2023! Special kudos to @CarrieWarick and the whole @CCTrustees policy team, and to our events guru Christina. It was an amazing week of great conversations and connections.
A special #NLS2023 message from @FLOTUS@DrBiden emphasizes career-connected learning at community colleges. "The Biden Administration believes all students deserve the opportunity to work in fields like clean energy..."
Couldn't agree more, @TincherLadner. It's wonderful to have so many students at #NLS2023 this year - @CCTrustees is grateful for their participation and insights. So much to learn from them!
I enjoyed teaching advocacy to @CCTrustees Student Trustees from over 60 colleges throughout the nation. They are the faces and stories of our colleges. #NLS2023#Iamptk
@JonathanMTurk @SecretaryPete@CCTrustees Yes! @JonathanMTurk, it's a great event. We would love to see you there, and have your expertise as part of the conversations!
"Transportation is about connecting people." Thanks @SecretaryPete for great insights and info - @CCTrustees is focusing on creating connections too - here at #NLS2023, on the new ACCT Connect online platform, and more!
@SecretaryPete sharing with @CCTrustees and #NLS2023 attendees about the amazing partnerships and programs at Community Colleges that are bringing the nation’s transportation workforce to new heights!
GREAT conversation on comparative perspectives on workforce development & training programs in US and Europe. Lots for US #communitycolleges to learn and share, & opportunities for #intled and global engagement!

"The work #communitycolleges does cannot be underestimated in terms of our global competitiveness. We need community colleges to reskill our workers in existing and emerging technologies." —Keynote Speaker Zoë Baird from @CommerceGov#NLS2023#AI#Tech#technology#workforce
