I love being a #Trojan, and one of the best parts of my lifetime commitment to the USC Marshall EMBA Program and USC Marshall School of Business is sharing my fantastic experience in the program and why I remain glad that I chose #USCMarshall. If you are thinking about pursuing an MBA and wondering if USC Marshall would be right for you, please consider joining the conversation Delisha Meishery-Patel, PhD, Anastasia Figueroa, and I have about the program on Tuesday. The registration link is included in the post below. #FIGHTON

Well done McMaster University! Robust Industry Partnerships and a sound Patent strategy are good complements in your institutionsl development.

Did you know that nearly eight out of 10 students are aware they need the right skills to be employable, but 42 percent share they don’t know where to start? That’s why we’re excited to share today that we’re entering a strategic partnership with Future Business Leaders of America, Inc. (FBLA) to give middle and high school students real-world experiences exploring diverse careers in business and information technology (IT), providing school-to-work pathways and a head start on their professional journeys. See how this partnership provides students insight into growing fields and opportunities, as well as connections to FBLA’s 22 collegiate and 62 industry partners: https://lnkd.in/eU7sKGFi

It has been such an honor to work with the CCBA team over the last year to align two innovative models- community college bachelors and competency-based education. When stars align, the best outcomes for students are reached! New research results out this week from Debra Bragg and Iris Palmer highlight the success of South Texas College and our C-BEN board member, Emma Lemus-Miller, PhD and C-BEN Consultant Angie Walker presented with Cheryl Cicotti, CCBA on how to bring the two models together. “In 2021, there were 2,477 CCB students enrolled across seven community colleges in Texas. About 75 percent of these students were enrolled at South Texas College..." Key Findings 🔎 Students in CCB programs are, on average, older than those in associate degree-granting programs at community colleges or students at traditional colleges and universities. However, students in CCB programs in Texas are slightly younger than those in other states. 🔎 CCB students who enrolled and graduated in Texas are predominantly female, Latine, and recipients of Pell Grants. A phenomenal 80 percent of graduates received a Pell Grant. 🔎 2018 graduates of Texas CCB programs are earning a median wage of $44,102 three years after graduation, which is comparable to Texans with bachelor’s degrees writ large. https://lnkd.in/e8Ua2bXk
