Elevating hidden pockets of talent.

@jselingo For many kids in Philadelphia, going to school in Pittsburgh is as big and far a college adventure as they can have while benefiting from in-state tuition. PA doesn’t have tuition reciprocity agreements with other states. (One of 7 such states, I believe.) The question is why?

#StudentParents have⬆️GPAs but⬇️completion rates than non-parents. They have to work extra hard to navigate structural barriers in #HigherEd.

That's why we're excited to celebrate this September, the first annual #NationalStudentParentMonth!

@mitchellatedf @WSJ I spoke with several Amazon employees and they said Amazon covers 95% of tuition for one year.

@LuciaAWeathers @workshiftnews @mitchellatedf @mariecini @drseangallagher I first heard the term from @mariecini. In 2019 we talked about the power of positive language in our work with adults pursuing a degree. The term I coined in 2005, #comebackers, didn’t emphasize the necessity of balancing work and college. Marie suggested #workinglearners.

@bdzomba @_urban_ @15toknow @dersh @PAHealthDept We did get a 2nd appt after calling them. Good luck!

@15toknow @dersh your KIng Of Prussia site should be called “90 & still don’t know”. If your site is broken, as the phone rep says, don’t keep doing tests. #credibility ##15toknow #refund

In Advice: “If I could create the U.S. university of the future, I would remix all the disciplines,” says Cathy N. Davidson, an English professor. “They’ve overstayed their welcome.” https://t.co/T2MHCTZnb1

Did I see Ted Cruz arriving at the inauguration?

“Skyrocketing Downwards” now waiting for the memes...

@AHAhistorians @marcpsinger Yes!!! My HS student's history classes culminate with WWII. Time to update history and civics courses at all levels!

[Hadass Sheffer @HadassSheffer]

@bvisger Yes. Capitol Police knew.

@senatemajldr now you have a tad bit of understanding what the children and teachers felt at Sandy Hook.

Death to the "expected family contribution" is great news for students applying for college financial aid. It's one of many small but important changes made by the FAFSA Simplification Act. https://t.co/JW7ahWmExN

@SteveTaylorEdu Beautiful!

[Hadass Sheffer @HadassSheffer]

@mikekrauseTN @bradleylegal Congratulations, Mike! Your career takes such interesting turns! Do you have a TED talk about it?

[Hadass Sheffer @HadassSheffer]

We used to say "we need to prepare college grads for several careers." Now the "we"/"them" is blurring as we all adapt to non-linear, multi-faceted, higher risk, opportunistic careers grounded in ongoing learning and awareness of the world around us. How can educators evolve?

Kudos to @emilybouckwest, @HigherLearnADV @jrpeller for drafting and shepherding this bill. Serving on the taskforce was both a duty to #workinglearners and a pleasure, as I learned much from @BillDeBaun @andymcarlson @ViniceinED @davidacroom @SteveTaylorEdu and many others.

Confirmed—there it is on p. 496! https://t.co/d8kmd8oodj

It's wild that over summer, I talked w/ senior Hill staff who said I was the first person to *ever* talk to them about broadband for college students & now Pell students are eligible for the emergency broadband benefit 1/3

There has been a lot of innovation in HE over the past decade. How do we evaluate it? How do we scale the best of it, build on it and integrate into everyday practices? @mariecini and @EduardoJPadron bring powerful know-how. Congratulations!

[Packback @packbackco]

#ICYMI: @packback has brought together leaders in #HigherEd transformation for its newly formed Academic Innovation Board. Members include @EduardoJPadron, President Emeritus of Miami Dade College, and @mariecini, Chief Strategy Officer at @ED2WORK.
