Delaware’s new co-op model is exactly what higher ed needs: paid, intentional work-based learning that gives students real experience, real skills, and real opportunity.
Students win. Employers win. Communities win.

Grateful to share that I’ve contributed to a new book! My piece focuses on service — because community, compassion, and giving back have shaped my life and leadership. Service is how we strengthen our communities and how we live our values. 💙

Career readiness has to be central to the student experience — not an add-on. A new @insidehighered.com survey shows that students feel academically prepared but still struggle to access paid internships & real work-based learning opportunities.

📉 A new @pewresearch.org report shows 70% of Americans believe higher ed is headed in the wrong direction.

Restoring trust won’t come from messaging. It requires consistently delivering on access, equity, and student success.

As campus leaders focus on enrollment, one group holds incredible promise: transfer students.

But enrolling them isn’t enough — we must ensure they’re supported to completion and beyond.

Higher ed celebrates success, but rarely talks about rejection.

Helping students see failure as shared—not isolating—can be a quiet act of mental-health support.

Normalizing rejection builds connection and resilience.

💡 Enrollment is top of mind — dual enrollment delivers results.

➡️ Students in dual enrollment apply more broadly, enroll faster, and persist more.

Dual enrollment isn’t a perk — it’s central to equity + affordability.

📢 @firstgenforward.bsky.social has released “Supporting First-generation College Students in 2025: A National Perspective."

🎓Without robust support for first-gen students, higher ed cannot fulfill its promise of equity and economic mobility. #firstgen #highered #studentsuccess
