Designing Higher Education for Military and Adult Learners: Greg Hill & Carolyn Todaro on Removing Barriers to Student Success
<p>What if the hardest part of earning a degree isn’t the coursework, but navigating a system that wasn’t built for you?</p><p>In this episode of <strong>Campus Outcomes Podcast</strong>, host <strong>James Dressing</strong> sits down with <strong>Greg Hill, </strong>Vice President of Enrollment Management, and <strong>Carolyn Todaro,</strong> Vice President of Student Success at American Public University System (APUS), to explore how higher education can better serve military members, veterans, and working adults.</p><p>Greg and Carolyn share how APUS was originally designed to solve the challenges of frequent relocation, lost transfer credits, and rigid academic structures—and how that mission continues to shape their approach today.
