A recent survey by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation reveals that many adults who left college without earning a degree would consider re-enrolling if their student loans were forgiven. Cost is the primary obstacle for these individuals, with 54% of them stating that it is the main reason they're not still in college. As colleges grapple with this reality, it is crucial to explore innovative ways to support adult learners in their pursuit of higher education.

I was very emotional when I was a kid and was so hard on myself for being that way. I needed someone to help me understand my feelings and how they affected me. Instead, I used those emotions against myself, creating a sense of disconnect. Back then, mental health wasn’t always openly discussed when I was young, especially for boys and men, due to stigma.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. 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! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

I’ve always found thinking to be a good thing to do. That’s especially true before you say something. Our thoughts create our words and our words frequently become our actions. We need to think about that in particular. But I sometimes think that “overthinking” causes as many problems as not thinking. Different problems for sure but problems all the same.

I have, unfortunately, actually seen people promoted into leadership positions because they “looked like a leader.” When I have asked what about those people’s look qualified them for a leadership position I was told, “that’s hard to define but look at them, they are obviously a leader.” So that’s obviously, at least to me, completely ridiculous. There is no leadership “look.
