Who’s responsible for training workers w/ skills needed today? Excellent summary of the state of adult education by Northeastern’s Sean Gallagher https://t.co/dm62UTpell #edtech via @EdSurge

@PackofPeanuts just listened to the ice cream/gelato episode and loved it! Other favorites in the areas already in your list: Mt. Desert Island Ice Cream (Maine) and Luka in Split, Croatia

[Elon University @elonuniversity]

In its 2020 "Best 385 Colleges" rankings, @ThePrincetonRev names #Elon the nation’s “best-run college” with the #1 “most beautiful campus” and the #2-ranked study abroad program!

@marymurphybob @GWendler @Stamats Yes! Numbers reported by the Independent Educational Consultants Association in the WSJ article “Anxious Families Drive Up Price of Advice”

[Grant De Roo @GrantDeRoo]

@betsbutterworth Agreed! This disingenuous approach undermines the good work that so many other applicants have done to get admitted

[Grant De Roo @GrantDeRoo]

One stat for context on the college admissions scandal: in 2005, there were 2,000 college consultants who helped kids get in to their desired schools; today there are 17,000. This is BIG business and ppl will pay A LOT to get their kids admitted to top schools

[Grant De Roo @GrantDeRoo]

@nprpolitics asked what’s the diff btw this college admissions scandal and somebody donating a library. The diff is who receives the benefit: all the money that was paid to get these kids into college were bribes to individuals; the colleges (and their students) didn’t benefit

[Grant De Roo @GrantDeRoo]

Astounding and disturbing data from @ADL about white supremacist incidents around college campuses in 2018. College administrators need a plan in place if an incident like this were to happen on campus.

My latest weekly roundup of news in #highereducation - interesting findings from @Gallup, a student admitted to 31 colleges, and a stolen discovery at UMKC! https://t.co/eHQyRTcBsv

Good thoughts from @stamats research expert, @GrantDeRoo

Recorded this podcast with @MariahWrites a week before learning about the #EndCCStigma campaign - the timing was perfect! @OwensCC @Meadepr https://t.co/u4REuL2Rgl

New roundup of #highered news from the past week! Interesting collab between Papa Johns and Purdue, an interesting new course at Michigan, and why intl students are increasing in Canada but dropping in the US: https://t.co/JB0p5B1iQe

[Grant De Roo @GrantDeRoo]

New course at the University of Michigan: "The Science and Facts of Cannabis"...love the course code: "PharmSci 420" https://t.co/eNGS5WxJU1

[Grant De Roo @GrantDeRoo]

I love this #EndCCStigma campaign - community college is a great pathway for A LOT of students...it's not just a place for those who can't "hack it" at a 4yr school. @Mariahwrites and I are coming out with a podcast on this exact topic soon! https://t.co/ZWhA6OnVzV

My brain is overloading with jokes about higher ed marketing. Looks like a good read though

[Grant De Roo @GrantDeRoo]

Heard about this report checklist on the Research In Action podcast and I love it. Simple, easy-to-use, and serves as a good reminder. Critical for anyone conducting research...even experienced pros! #research #marketresearch @osuecampus https://t.co/VQbhMkWBLo

I use 5 charts to explain trends in online programs in my latest @Stamats article. Interesting to see changes in online education in just the past five years! #highered #onlineeducation https://t.co/23OKJgTrNd
