Creighton University Graduate School’s Post

Great advice for aspiring higher education leaders, and good morning!

Interesting learning in the Accelerating Change Readiness and Agility! from UC Berkeley Executive Education! Thanks Fernando Zambrana and Andres Hurtado for the opportunity to be part of this program.

Education serves as a fundamental driver for personal development and societal advancement. In this article, two of our alumni chat about why they pursued their respective Master's degrees with us and how Yorkville U allowed them to study while balancing all of life’s responsibilities.

🏙️ I'm taking a trip down memory lane today, reminiscing about my time at Marcus Garvey Elementary, a lowly rated school in the Southside of Chicago. 🏫 This place holds some of my most cherished memories. 🌟🎭 Through @UrbanGateways performances, I had the opportunity to explore the world beyond the classroom walls. 🌍 It ignited my travel obsession and significantly broadened my horizons. 🎭 🪲 In Mr. Vaughn's 5th grade science class, I raised insects to combat an invasive species plant. 🌿 It was hands-on learning at its best, teaching me the importance of ecological balance and the power of small actions. 🌱 ➗ And who could forget Mr. Bozeman? He not only pushed my math abilities to new heights but also gave me the confidence to tutor fellow classmates who struggled with the concepts. 🧮 It was a lesson in leadership and empathy I carry with me to this day. 📚📜 But it wasn't just about academics; I learned about pride in my history and myself. The red, the green, and the black – symbols of heritage and unity that still resonate in my heart. ❤️💚🖤💪🏾 These personal experiences are a testament to the potential within our schools, no matter their ratings. 🎁 🌟 Many of my colleagues come from A-rated or private schools, but let's not overlook the schools like Marcus Garvey Elementary or the incredible kids who attend them. 🙌🏾 🌟📚 Let's talk 📣📣📣 What was your school rated? Is it indicative of the quality of education that you received? What is your opinion of the current rating system? #MarcusGarveyMemories #InvestInOurSchools #EducationMatters

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be a part of Bay Path University and Cambridge College. Today is a transformational day for all of us here. I am incredibly proud of our fidelity to our missions, our commitment to the communities we serve, our teammates, and our impact on higher education. #StrongerTogether I am also grateful for you, Sandra J. Doran, Michael Giampietro, Kathleen Bourque, Natalia Blank, PhD, Stephen Healey, Niti Seth, Dennis J. Madigan, CMA, our Board of Trustees, and the rest of the teams that trusted me to lead Phase 1 of the acquisition. We did it!

I am even more grateful for the continued confidence in me and our super-talented project team as we lead the next phase of this process: Tracy McLaughlin, Shirley Montovani, Madison McGrath, Jonathan Besse, and Susan Poglinco, PhD. Thank you for being tremendous partners, thought leaders, and accountability partners. I am super excited about the work ahead. Collectively, we will think holistically about what it means to serve students, how to continue to make a profound and lasting impact in our communities, and how to transform ourselves and our organization. #BayPathUniversityProud. #CambridgeCollegeProud. #Transformation.

As more people question the value of higher education, I believe those of us who have experienced the transformative impact of a college degree, and those of us who are working to advance and sustain the opportunities provided by a higher education need to continue to explain why it matters more than ever. A William & Mary education, in particular, can change forever the trajectory of a family, a nation, and the world. Here are some reflections I shared with our Tribe on how we are building a better tomorrow at the Alma Mater of the Nation. https://lnkd.in/esexYSUv
