Creating Students First Models of Education

College remains one of the great drivers of socioeconomic mobility, today's higher education industry has built financial, logistical, and practical barriers that keep out the very students who are most in need of opportunity. In his recent book, Students First, and through his work at Southern New Hampshire University, Paul LeBlanc advocates for an entire higher education ecosystem in which students have the flexibility to gain, assess, and certify their knowledge on their own terms and timelines. Dr. LeBlanc will be joined by students who have succeeded thanks to the innovative programs offered by SNHU. With more accessible and flexible options, higher education will better serve students and society.
