In this episode of In the Margins, our two guests discuss the rise of the community college baccalaureate.
Led by our host David Pluviose, Drs. Angela Kersenbrock and Debra Bragg discuss this unique and fast-growing segment of higher education.
As president of the Community College Baccalaureate Association and professor of higher education, respectively, Angela and Debra share their insights on higher education and the role of the community college baccalaureate in today’s economy.
Tune in as they explore topics such as a college’s commitment to nontraditional students and its community, the relationship between policy-makers, industry, and institutions of learning, how COVID has impacted higher education, and much more.
Be sure not to miss this informative dialogue about the community college baccalaureate and how these two women are creating a clear pathway for underserved students to achieve a degree that may change their lives.

QUOTABLES:
“I think that's one of the things that is so attractive about community college baccalaureates is that they're built, hand in hand with industry, for industries need and for the communities need.”
“What is our responsibility, as advocates for higher education and as policymakers, what is our responsibility to ensure that all students have that opportunity?”

I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
What an amazing podcast! I’ve received so much value from these conversations and experiences. This podcast is shedding light on some very important topics, especially in todays climate. I have been loving every moment! Diverse In The Margins is most definitely worth the listen!
This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
