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.
