    Z Scott on how improving a university can empower a community

    When Zaldwaynaka ("Z") Scott became president of Chicago State University in 2018, things were in pretty dire straits: the state budget had been slashed, operations rolled back, and they had gone years without permanent leadership. A mere four years later, things look very different and CSU is now in the top 4% of universities nationally for supporting students' economic mobility. She explains how she turned things around and why, as she likes to say, "a strong Chicago State … is a strong United States."

    Michele Chang on how to solve the Great Resignation

    Americans are quitting their jobs at unprecedented rates, leaving millions of job openings and no one to fill them. The Great Resignation is likely motivated, at least in part, by the pandemic. But this trend speaks to a broader disconnect between employer needs and employee wants — a trend that's been worsening for years now. Michele Chang, from the U.S. Department of Commerce, explains what the federal government is doing to help workers and employers address this.

    A college or university can be deemed a "Hispanic Serving Institution" if at least a quarter of its students are Latino.

It's about supporting their journey through college graduation and into the workforce. We talk to Deborah about the Seal of Excelencia, and along the way, we learn about her own journey as a military brat and first-generation college student.

    7. Salesforce's Ebony Beckwith on taking a different path

    Growing up in San Francisco, Ebony Beckwith attended an academically selective high school where most of her classmates were university-bound. She opted for a different path, heading directly into the workforce while winding through several community colleges before realizing she needed that four-year degree to reach her career goals. Today, Beckwith is chief philanthropy officer and CEO of the Salesforce Foundation where she leads a global team and directs hundreds of millions of dollars in grants focused on education and workforce development. It's time, she says, to reimagine education so it serves the lifelong learner and embraces multiple pathways between learning and working.
