Neither of my parents went to college, and yes, they are still successful, but having a college degree to me is necessary. Even if you have plans that don’t require a degree, and you find out you don’t want to pursue that plan anymore, you have a degree to fall back on just in case. I know my parents are proud of me, and it makes me feel good to know that I am putting in the effort and doing something right that will benefit me in the future.

“As the Board, we will support our leadership team in keeping an open door policy for our students,” Walton said. “This is how we will not only create access, but also support completion. Greater resources to bring students in, greater focus on how to connect with students and who they are at their core, what support services are needed, how and why and much more. Here is the thing – we think we know, and we do to some extent, but we must listen to the voices of our students to truly understand how to best do this.”
