Ep. 214: Voices of Student Success: When Nontraditional Students Become the Norm
Inside Higher Ed’s Voices of Student Success discusses what colleges need to rethink as “nontraditional” students increasingly reflect today’s college population.
For answers, we spoke with Morna Foy, president of the Wisconsin Technical College System. Foy spoke about barriers faced by students across the system and why she and other two-year college leaders want more federal stimulus help for part-time students.
Also featured in this episode is Lexi Barrett, an associate vice president at Jobs for the Future, who leads the group's state and federal policy efforts. Barrett put the enrollment crunch many community colleges are facing in a national context, and talked about some possible policy fixes.
