Empowering working learners with President Mark Milliron

Why it matters

These steps could create a more inclusive higher education landscape, better serving all students:

• Recognition: Acknowledge diverse student populations, including working learners.

• Regulation: Implement an “ander pause” to ensure policies work for all students.

• Collaboration: Include diverse voices in policy development.

The big picture

A “better with” approach, rather than “better than,” encourages institutions to collaborate and improve education for all learners.

What’s next

The President’s Forum aims to be a leading voice for working learners, advocating for supportive policies and sharing best practices.

The bottom line

Embracing diverse educational models and student needs could significantly impact how education is delivered and accessed.
