Colleges shouldn't use standardized admissions tests alone to measure scientific thinking skills (opinion) insidehighered.com/views/202…
Thx @ScottJaschik for calling out COVID19 impact on college admissions. For a profession steeped in practices that perpetuate privilege, it’s high time for some disruption. #access #diversity #testoptional
For recruiting and judging students, colleges face the reality that they may not be able to visit high schools or rely on their rubrics. The outcomes are expected to be particularly bad for disadvantaged students bit.ly/39bHI84

Thanks for this thoughtful and inspiring message @AngelBPerez Looking forward to the positive impact of your leadership @NACAC , building on the impressive legacy of Joyce Smith.
Thanks to all for the good wishes. I feel fortunate to be joining @wentworthinst at such a pivotal time. Giving students access to #STEM degree programs is mission critical —now more than ever!
Excited to be joining this dynamic community of builders, doers, dreamers and makers in the heart of Boston! #WIT #STEM
Wentworth welcomes Kristin R. Tichenor, Ed.D. as the new VP of Enrollment! Ms. Tichenor brings more than 20 years of enrollment expertise to the position... she has served as a champion for diversity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). #WITWelcome
Thx for call out @RachelILeBlanc but sharing the credit with @WPI faculty & students who agreed to what was heretical at the time — a nationally ranked techie school going test-optional. #equity #access #STEM #testoptional
.@InsideAdmission - Not sure I fully appreciated how systemically racist standardized testing is until reading ‘How to be an Antiracist’. @KTgeekchic was (thankfully) ahead of her time in removing that barrier to admission.
Just remember: Thousands of young people got to play with #robots, make goop, blow up #peeps and experience the joys of #STEM thx to everyone @wpi @NASA @wgbh and others who made it possible year after year. #legacy @touchtomorrowpi
9 Marches (month) ago we @WPI conceived of @touchtomorrowpi, inspired by @NASAPrize. Oh the thrill of seeing first families walking up Hill for #science, #technology, #robots @eileenmell @sepasha @JFerg_21 @KTgeekchic Year 9 would have been today-tag others. #takesavillage
