Ivy Tech’s Free Summer program is another example of how Ivy Tech Community College’s faculty, staff, chancellors, president, and trustees are leading in higher education for the benefit of Hoosier students and families, with the generous support of the Indiana General Assembly. Research finds students who earn college credit while in high school are more likely to enroll in college, stay enrolled in college until they graduate, and complete a credential or degree on time or early. Offering free summer courses is part of Ivy Tech’s commitment to increasing college going rates of young adults in Indiana. Last year, more than 4,000 high schoolers enrolled in free courses across the state. Indiana ranks first in the nation for students who are earning college credit in high school thanks to Ivy Tech. Our 19 campuses are working together to ensure more young people leave high school with a plan to earn industry-aligned credentials and degrees quickly and at a lower cost to them and their families. If you know a high schooler who wants to get a jump start on college, visit IvyTech.edu/FreeCourses to learn how to enroll. https://lnkd.in/gm3ek3zn

Unpopular opinion: I don't necessarily think the "gap year" is the boogieman that it's sometimes portrayed to be. That being said, taking time off between high school and college should be an intentional choice compatible with the individual student's long-term goals and plans. Too often, students "melt" because they get overwhelmed by the process, not because they're intentionally exploring or building workforce skills in other ways. Adulting is scary, and they're expected to do a lot of it really fast. These tips are a great start, and we also need to think differently about how we approach the way students get started in postsecondary education. I'm thinking about... ❔ How can we help students who do decide to go straight to college in the fall make a smooth transition, respecting their new autonomy without throwing them right into the deep end? ❔ How do we create a clear path for students who take time off to easily find and access attractive postsecondary options later? ❔ What supports can we put in place to keep those gap year, gap year-plus, and returning students engaged with the academic community so they stay in the know about how to access useful postsecondary opportunities? ❔ What are the ways we other students who don't go straight into college after high school? How are we unintentionally sending the message that they don't belong once they do decide to come back? #HigherEd #GapYear #YouCanComeBack #StudentSuccess #NontraditionalStudents #DoCollegeDifferently #FirstYearExperience #ReturningStudents #GapYearPlus #SummerMelt
