And that's a wrap for #NLS2023! Special kudos to @CarrieWarick and the whole @CCTrustees policy team, and to our events guru Christina. It was an amazing week of great conversations and connections.
Couldn't agree more, @TincherLadner. It's wonderful to have so many students at #NLS2023 this year - @CCTrustees is grateful for their participation and insights. So much to learn from them!
I enjoyed teaching advocacy to @CCTrustees Student Trustees from over 60 colleges throughout the nation. They are the faces and stories of our colleges. #NLS2023 #Iamptk
"Transportation is about connecting people." Thanks @SecretaryPete for great insights and info - @CCTrustees is focusing on creating connections too - here at #NLS2023, on the new ACCT Connect online platform, and more!
@SecretaryPete sharing with @CCTrustees and #NLS2023 attendees about the amazing partnerships and programs at Community Colleges that are bringing the nation’s transportation workforce to new heights!
GREAT conversation on comparative perspectives on workforce development & training programs in US and Europe. Lots for US #communitycolleges to learn and share, & opportunities for #intled and global engagement!

"The work #communitycolleges does cannot be underestimated in terms of our global competitiveness. We need community colleges to reskill our workers in existing and emerging technologies." —Keynote Speaker Zoë Baird from @CommerceGov #NLS2023 #AI #Tech #technology #workforce
#ACCT2022 is underway! So energizing to have @CCTrustees members together. Great opening session - and my first time in the headset!
On my desk right now - final round of edits to the @CCTrustees 2022 Leadership Congress program. There's still time to register - would love to see you in NYC next month! congress.acct.org/

"Board retreats & workshops are vital to the health of any college board and useful in cultivating and maintaining a strong partnership with the college's CEO," said ACCT Pres & CEO Jee Hang Lee.

Sharing @CCTrustees's take on today's news - and policy recommendations to keep momentum going for our community college students.
“In focusing student loan forgiveness on low- and middle-income earners...the Biden Administration’s plan provides relief for those borrowers who need it most," said ACCT President & CEO Jee Hang Lee.

Great to be in NYC to prep for @CCTrustees 2022 Leadership Congress! Just two months to go - we'll be back at the Marriott again in October, with an amazing program planned! congress.acct.org/
In case others could use this in their Twitter feed today: "Take a breath" is always good advice.

At @CCTrustees we have a #highered poetry magnet set on the fridge in the kitchen. Here's what I came up with while heating up my coffee this morning - not really a poem, but what's top of mind for me right now. Perhaps resonates with others as we head into the fall semester?
Happy to be in my office on a lovely late-summer Tuesday morning! Lots of time on the road for my first few weeks at @CCTrustees - it's been great to meet our members and spend time traveling w/colleagues, but also nice to settle in a bit more now.
Looking forward to this important conversation this week - sharing strategies and resources to support our students' success, in and beyond the classroom.
Supporting the mental health of students is critical to their success.
Learn on 8/15 about the challenges & student support innovations that can be implemented at rural community colleges.
