@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.

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

@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

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

@keaganleviscott @CCTrustees Love "vibrancy and growth!" I'd like to quote this in an upcoming presentation.

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

@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.

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

@SupportGenHope What have you found to be the some of most successful interventions for helping student parents succeed?

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

@NGHeitzeberg @CCTrustees We're grateful for the leadership of our wonderful board!

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

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.

[ACCT @CCTrustees]

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..."

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

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!

[Lynn Tincher-Ladner @TincherLadner]

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

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

@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!

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

"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!

[José N Miranda @jnmiranda7]

@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!

"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

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

#ACCT2022 is underway! So energizing to have @CCTrustees members together. Great opening session - and my first time in the headset!

[Robin Matross Helms @RobinMHelms]

On my desk right now - final round of edits to the @CCTrustees 2022 Leadership Congress program. There's still time to register - would love to see you in NYC next month! https://t.co/GQcryKm57S

[ACCT @CCTrustees]

"Board retreats & workshops are vital to the health of any college board and useful in cultivating and maintaining a strong partnership with the college's CEO," said ACCT Pres & CEO Jee Hang Lee.

So this week, 20 lucky colleges won complimentary ones!
