For cash-strapped college students, inflation is making school harder to pay for. But Southwest Tennessee Community College has been responding to student needs in the hopes of keeping them enrolled.
We need to redesign higher education as an experience that helps students harmonize education, work and family—instead of pitting them against each other.
Investing in online education will allow universities to reach a larger audience and potentially offset some of the costs associated with traditional higher education.
"We are really the only option for students who are trying to create access to higher education," says Zaneta Encarnacion, chief of staff to the superintendent/president of the Southwestern Community College District.
