@wgu program mentors offer personalized support to students from their first day to graduation, like a friend to care if you graduate and support your goals when maybe no one else does.
“We’ve been through so much these last two years- thank you.”

@LancasterOnline @SuzCassidyLNP helped me get the word out about the effect of COVID-19 on women's lives in Lancaster #Pennsylvania. Let's break down barriers to women's pay by ensuring all have access to higher education and career opportunities.

Interesting critique of higher ed marketing. First of all, a lot of it sounds the same, which is a sign of laziness and lack of accurate, tailored messaging. Second, is the only goal of a degree really to become more special than other people?

Pa. state poll:
78% believe online, nonprofit, accredited universities provide a valuable chance to earn a degree.
Yet only 34% think online education is as valuable as a degree earned on-campus.
This disconnect hinders workforce training in Pa.

It is with great sadness that I announce that James S. Jackson has passed. He was the Founder of the Program for Research on Black Americans. He was a mentor to numerous junior scholars who have become Deans, Department Chairs, Endowed Professors, and leaders in their fields.
