  • Coffee Talk: What are pathways and what are their benefits in early college (dual and concurrent enrollment)? 

Brian Boecherer, Olive Shade Consulting

Description: Two-year and Four-year IHE often see pathways as different things. For some they are useful, for others they are seen as a trap for students too young to make an informed choice. This talk will frame pathways as a tool for building student identity and advising and discuss how some programs have been using pathways in their programs.

  • Coffee Talk: The “Program of One” — Managing Dual/Concurrent Enrollment with Excellence (recording available on NEACEP YouTube)

    • Join us for a focused conversation on what it means to run a dual/concurrent enrollment program as a “Program of One.” Many programs rely on a single person to manage communications, registrations, billing, accreditation requirements, faculty engagement, site visits, and more—while still upholding high academic and operational standards. Our panelists will share practical strategies, personal experiences, and creative solutions for balancing these responsibilities without sacrificing quality. Whether you oversee a small program or want to strengthen your processes, this session will offer valuable insights and actionable takeaways.
