Ep. 148: Cuts to the Education Department, an Ultimatum for Columbia and ICE Arrests
The Trump administration hits higher education on multiple fronts through executive orders, threats and demands.
This season of Voices of Student Success, “Preparing Gen Z for Unknown Futures,” addresses challenges in readying young people for the next chapter of their lives in the face of large-scale global changes. This episode focuses on the world of work and how experiential learning can provide students with a glimpse into professional careers and what they don’t know about jobs.
Jane Swift, president of Education at Work, describes how private partners can help higher education meet workforce needs through intentional internship experiences.
Later, Jocelyn Frelier, associate director of the Brown in Washington program, discusses how the program uses internship experiences in Washington, D.C., to connect curricular and co-curricular learning.
Hosted by Inside Higher Ed Student Success reporter Ashley Mowreader.
