It’s no secret that choosing a path for education is one of the most important and challenging issues that many of us face. Students are warned that a successful future requires education beyond high school, but college costs are no longer affordable by many families, and loan debt is crippling students for years. How do we sort through all this dire news? Can we come to some reasonable solutions that allow for successful education, success careers, and freedom from debt?

After serving for many years in higher education, I think the answer to this question is a resounding “Yes, we can.” I would like do dedicate these postings to share my ideas about and experiences in education, and to warmly invite your questions.
