This spring is going to be quite busy for me with three faculty searches, our once-a-decade academic program review, the most travel for presentations that I have had since before the start of the pandemic, and responding to a host of media and policymaker requests about what will be happening over the next few months.

With more than two-thirds of community college students requesting aid annually, 30% being Pell-eligible, 16% being single parents —and inflation at a perilous high—everyone is feeling the effects of one more line-item in the household budget each month.
