    Feb 4 2026

    • How does New Jersey's first community college serving 12,000 students rise from Aspen Prize top 150 in 2021 to semi finalist in 2023 to finalist in 2025 by focusing on student success, post completion outcomes, & economic mobility?
    • Why does real student success require more than just saying the words, demanding instead a reform agenda backed by board commitment, defined data points, & investment from top to bottom where everyone from public safety to administration is dedicated to supporting students?
    • What does survival of the fittest mean for higher education's future as institutions that don't double down on demonstrating real value through economic mobility & credentials that create better lives face closures, mergers, & a rude awakening in an increasingly challenging landscape?
