Sygielski's report from the summit
The Advocate
MHCC President John Sygielski, back from his participation in the first community college summit held Oct. 5 at the White House, has issued a report outlining potential improvements that were discussed.
Among the recommendations Sygielski emphasized are:
•Enhance communication with four-year colleges to ensure easy transfers.
•Make better use of technology to improve advising.
•Consider confirming a nation-wide course numbering system.
•Limit the number of courses per program to quicken graduation date and transfer to a four-year institute.
•Demystify college and the college experience, especially with first-generation students.
•Reduce stumbling blocks for entering students.
Regional working groups will be formed to collectively address some of the topics that were covered in the meeting.
