We support our community and technical colleges in expanding opportunities for reskilling and upskilling. Thanks to Governor Greg Abbott and our legislative leaders, millions of new financial aid will be available to help Texans complete high-value credentials. #txhighered

I was glad to have the opportunity to talk with Prairie View A&M faculty and staff today about the challenges Prairie View and other campuses face, and the vital roles they will play in driving economic recovery and a better future for our state. #pvamu #texashighered #highereducation

Great conversation last week at the Dallas Regional Chamber State of Higher Education event about how Texas higher ed will play a critical role in driving economic recovery. #txhighered #highereducation

Thank you UHD! Great visit to meet with UHDPresident Munoz and Lone Star College president Head, hear about the important work happening, and see the UHD campus. #txhighered

Great conversations were happening once again as UHD & UHDPresident hosted Texas Higher Ed Commissioner Harrison Keller, Chairman of the Board Stewart Stedman & Lone Star College Chancellor Dr. Stephen Head.

My friend Brandon Busteed reflects on Daniel Kahneman’s insights about the purpose of higher education. Great piece, with echoes of the allegory of the cave. #highered

Great essay by James Hatch, Navy veteran, about his first semester at Yale. “We humans have much more in common than we have different. Thanks Yale, for helping me to become an aspiring bridge-builder at the age of 52.” #highered medium.com/@james.hatch/m…

Intriguing essay from Brandon Busteed. Employers value the skills students learn via Liberal Arts, especially in combination with other recognized credentials. I'd add: we need broader collaborations among higher ed and employers to inform design of new, high-value credentials.

Valuable insights from Philip Uri Treisman and the Dana Center. We need more nuanced approaches to rigor in mathematics, and for the majority of students 'rigor' shouldn't imply a forced march to College Algebra.
