Academic Heeds Her Own Advice to Pursue Degree

摘要

At Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), almost half of our bachelor's degree students are full-time employees who desire or are pushed to earn a college degree. After years of encouraging practicing managers and technicians in our field to consider the benefits of college achievement, I took my own advice. I recently finished my doctorate in higher education administration, designed to help me better support my students and my two degree programs. During the long process, I often spoke with my students, encouraging them to stay focused on degree achievement. But I would end these conversations knowing I had to listen to my own recommendations.
