@ericfish85 Interesting read. Purchasing insurance provides a more solid guarantee and thus a better investment than paying lobbyists in this political climate.

It's important for students to view starting their career as a journey instead of a destination. Focusing on career readiness during college is a great way to prevent last minute job searches. https://t.co/TmrFcRyZ5P #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline

60% of college graduates are women but women only represent 35% of undergraduate STEM degree-holders. Scholarships, mentorships, and internships can help bridge this gap. https://t.co/UIfYiEe7Lr #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline

There are many small steps that college students can take to become career ready prior to starting their job search. Be proactive instead of reactive! https://t.co/6cKD7lgGKR #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline

When we talk about career readiness, we often forget about the issue of underemployment - students settling for a job that doesn't utilize all of the skills learned during their degree program https://t.co/dkdoIYRZvR #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline

Mentorship is crucial in helping college students start their career after graduation, yet white students are more likely to have a mentor than minority students (72% of surveyed alumni vs. 47%) https://t.co/6KpZceDlxj #CCHEcreateit @NAUJacqueline

Many colleges and universities as well as states use this form to determine students' eligibility for nonfederal need-based aid – additional funds students can use to pay for school: https://t.co/FvIpmSW0Ik #BestColleges

@GoldieStandard My question is what happens after the first year? First generation students may not realize their tuition will increase and will be forced to take out student loans because they have already invested one year at the institution.

Very small gains in employment level of women and minorities at Microsoft, much more work needs to be done to improve diversity and inclusion https://t.co/Haci2xMdfZ @NAUJacqueline #CCHEcreateit

Online classes are becoming commonplace in high schools, not surprised that college students are also electing to take courses online.

[Whiteboard Advisors @WhitebdAdvisor]

New report finds the number of college students taking classes online grew in 2017, even though postsecondary enrollments fell. 1/3 of all students now take at least one online course: https://t.co/STkrGdTgrA via @insidehighered @dougledIHE

@USNewsEducation It’s important for students to be focused on their future but we need to make sure that they have the time and space to develop their identity. This means making mistakes and learning from them, rather than constantly fearing failure.
