Even if you’re halfway scrolling through Facebook or Instagram — it’s hard to miss it. Vacations. France, Alaska, the Bahamas, U.S. National Parks. Y’all are out. Or at least those of you in higher education were out this summer. Where did you escape to? I was out, too — for nearly five weeks living in an RV with my fur baby Luna and co-pilot Lloyd.

The threat to the integrity of educational assessments is no longer from ‘essay mills’ and contract cheating but from Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is not so long ago that academics complained that essay mills, ‘contract cheating’ services, and commercial companies piecing together ‘bespoke’ answers to standard essay questions, were undermining the integration of higher education’s assessment processes.

In the midst of a fairly busy week for higher education ( hello, Biden’s student loan forgiveness and income-driven repayment plans! ), the National Center for Education Statistics began adding a new year of data into the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. I have long been interested in cost of attendance figures, as colleges often face intense pressure to keep these numbers low.

High school always goes by faster than you think it will. For me, I was a part of the infamous Class of 2020, better known as the “pandemic graduates”. As you can guess, Grade 12 went by even faster for me. The pandemic definitely altered some of my decisions, however, even if it had not happened, I still feel that I would have done a few things differently when picking my program if given another chance.

( A. Solano ). The ability of faculty to change—from external to internal attributions—is a foundational ingredient in student success, particularly for Latina/o/x students. External attributions assign blame for something that is beyond a faculty's control. The primary factor that faculty have control over is their internal attributions--the ability to consistently improve their craft.

A journey map is one of the most helpful tools you can build to inform your marketing and communications strategy. In a business context, a journey map outlines the process a customer goes through—from their initial encounter with a brand, to purchase, and ultimately to loyalty and advocacy. It captures a customer’s goal at each stage, and informs the messaging and content a company develops by providing this customer-centric insight.

Data is a powerful guiding tool in higher education, and it becomes stronger when it captures the entire student journey. Unfortunately, institutions’ data is often siloed across departments, which prevents them from having a “whole picture” approach to all of the strategies they have in play, from enrollment to student retention. For instance, CRM data alone might be enough to help admissions understand what’s in the pipeline, but CRM data is only one part of the picture; it&#

In this post, I’m going to tease out some of the implications that Newton doesn’t talk about.
