The Importance of Social Media for College Presidents
In this moderated panel discussion, three sitting College Presidents will share how they leverage social media channels – in very different ways – to build their brand and lead their College through the pandemic.
Each will share how they use their platforms to engage their students, community and business stakeholders, donors, internal faculty, and staff. They will discuss the strategies and platforms used to increase communications, share their vision for the College, and how that has impacted their success as President.
Reimagining the Dual Enrollment Mindset
During this discussion, Dr. Jenkins will share best practices from across the country from the “The Dual Enrollment Playbook: A Guide to Equitable Acceleration for Students” on using dual enrollment to improve equitable access for high school students and better prepare students for academic success.
As a participant in CCRC’s study of innovative dual enrollment programs, Dr. Ballinger will share how LCCC increased socioeconomic mobility through academic and workforce partnerships.
Deep Diving into the Student Experience
As Amarillo College prepared to change the student experience, they started by analyzing the current state. President Lowery-Hart will share how deep diving into the College infrastructure and processes provided a realistic perspective of the current challenges and impact on the student experience. Additionally, the President underwent a homeless simulation to truly understand the life challenges his students were facing in their everyday lives.
Through these exercises, the College built solutions that had an immediate impact on enrollment and student success when put into practice.
