Why is Higher Ed So Molasses Slow?

<p><strong>Why is higher education molasses slow?</strong> We're asking two change-makers: <strong>Shawn Benner, Associate Dean of the College of Innovation and Design and the Director of the Human-Environment Systems Program at Boise State University</strong> and <strong>John "Ski" Sygielski. President of HACC Central Pennsylvania's Community College. </strong></p> <p>They highlight the wall of student debt higher ed is up against. Debts that will take generations to pay off, if they ever are. We'll discuss the barriers to speeding up higher ed. Did you know only 14% of adults in this country have a college degree?

They're encouraging higher ed to speed up. This episode is as inspiring as it is educational. Please listen to learn more!</p>
