MENGENAI EPISOD INI
After more than a year of closed campuses and online-only learning, California’s higher education system has been completely changed in a way that will persist when students head back to class in real life for a new school year.
But there are other changes still developing, like:
* what's the right mix of face-to-face, virtual and hybrid learning
* how to better help students with their mental health, financial aid, and food and housing needs
* how to make campuses get more flexible in the ways they operate
* and how to get California’s large population of lower-income students all the way to graduation with a college degree and good job prospects
We talk with two college students, and a newly-appointed university president, about which changes are needed most, and what California’s higher education system needs to do to become the best in America again.
PART ONE
* Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, the brand-new president of Fresno State University
PART TWO
* Stephen Kodur, a 2021 graduate from Reedley College and president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges
* Josh Lewis, a senior at UC Berkeley and chair of Government Relations for the UC Student Association
