Kentucky's progress toward a more educated workforce depends on one thing done well, year after year: helping students earn postsecondary credentials of value. And we're doing it. #KYHigherEdMatters

Our news about degrees and credentials isn't just historic, it is transformational. More Kentuckians becoming more highly educated signals the importance of postsecondary to the future of not just individual livelihoods, but also to a thriving workforce. cpe.ky.gov/news/stories/ky-c…

We made affordability a state strategic priority and it's great to see the results on a national scale. Third in the nation for affordable institutions. #KYHigherEdMatters

Thank you, @LEX18News, for this great news segment about the benefits of dual credit and how it saves money for students planning to enroll in college. @CPENews is very proud of how far Kentucky has come in making these programs both effective and popular. lex18.com/news/covering-kent…

Happy to have spoken at the #SHEEO Basic Needs Data Academy Convening. Our Student Success Collaborative has done some phenomenal work in this area - debuting a new dashboard & about to launch a new communications toolkit. I'm very proud this work is being recognized. @CPENews

After the challenges surrounding the new FAFSA, it’s encouraging to see Kentucky’s FAFSA completion rate rebound. This progress reflects the hard work of KHEAA, advisors, GEAR UP & other higher ed partners. Thanks for helping students take that next step. #KYHigherEdMatters

As our economic prosperity becomes more dependent upon our state's capacity to harness technology and artificial intelligence, it's important that we create state solutions to retaining the tech talent we develop at our postsecondary institutions.

The data tell an important story: Most Kentucky adults who stopped out of college did so early in their academic journey. That means state & campus investment in advising, financial support and student success services from day one can have the greatest impact. #KYHigherEdMatters

I'm excited about this new feature - CTE is a great way for students to gain valuable skills & enter the workforce quickly. This online tool lets them discover local programs and career pathways, making planning much easier for students and families.

Renee's retirement is bittersweet. We've worked together for years. I'll miss working with her but am excited to see what this next chapter holds. Best wishes to a top-notch journalist, talented interviewer & very good friend. @reneemshaw kentuckylantern.com/briefs/k…

Identifying and helping more adults turn the credits they have already earned into meaningful credentials is essential to strengthening families, communities and Kentucky’s workforce. We are excited to have this research as a basis for policy change.

Always a great day when paths cross with great people - loved getting to see Ben Boggs, Christina Whitfield and Shannon Gilkey at the #SHEEO conference. All of these folks have Kentucky education roots, a testament to the outstanding talent our state develops.

Always appreciate the opportunity to participate. Thanks so much, @SHEEOed.

On the road again - this time, with my good friends at Morehead State University, speaking to the Governor's Scholars students. This program is a great way not only to prepare students for the college experience, but also to give them a venue to learn more about themselves.

Thank you, @universitybiz and Alcino Donadel, for the opportunity to be on your podcast. Always appreciate being able to talk about all the great things that are happening in postsecondary ed. universitybusiness.com/workf…

Every year, I participate as a speaker at Governor's Scholars, and every year I'm blown away by all the talent this program attracts. Pictured are the students who are at Centre College this week, but I just know they'll be Kentucky’s next generation of civic & economic leaders.

Five Ky. public universities increased baccalaureate completion among low-income students over the past 5 years. These gains demonstrate what's possible when we work together - legislators, CPE & our campuses - to focus on success, affordability & opportunity. #KYHigherEdMatters

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Joanne Glasser, former president of Eastern Kentucky University. I served as one of Joanne’s senior administrators during her tenure. As the first permanent female president of my alma mater, she held an important place in EKU’s history.

Thank you to @UCumberlands and President Quentin Young for hosting our @CPENews work session and business meeting today. Your hospitality is much appreciated, as well as what you contribute to helping Kentucky reach our 60x30 goal.
