Only 3% of community colleges bill Medicaid for services, despite 84% of community colleges likely being eligible for Medicaid reimbursement.

As colleges and universities strive to enhance student success, one key strategy is increasing access to academic support services. However, even the most effective resources can go underutilized if they aren't convenient or accessible for students. Flexible tutoring locations offer a solution to this challenge, ensuring students can get the support they need, wherever they are.

One of the many hats I currently wear is Vice President of the Allegheny County School Counselors Association. In this role, I plan all of the professional development events for the 2024-25 school year. This consists of three all day professional development sessions. To add an interactive element to our ACSCA Winter Meeting and to promote National School Counseling Week, I got the idea to create a photo wall and selfie station.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

Switching majors is common for many college students. Usually, students pick their original major in something that they have a strong interest in. As students take classes that are required for their major, they may start to realize that what they are learning doesnt align with what they envisioned or they dont want to pursue that career path. While changing majors may seem daunting, it can give students a push to stay in college rather than drop out.
