177: How to Support Nontraditional Students and Adult Learners With Dr. La’Tonya "LT" Rease Miles
This week our special guest is Dr. La’Tonya "LT" Rease Miles who discusses the topic of how to support nontraditional students and adult learners. LT is a Director of Sales and University Partnerships at ReUp Education. A first-generation college graduate and former "stop out" student, LT has established two successful programs for first-generation college students — one at UCLA and the other at Loyola Marymount University—both recognized as First-gen Forward institutions. She regularly consults with institutions nationally concerning first-gen students and also has advised local high schools about developing programs on their campus. Finally, she established and manages a national Facebook group, "Empowering First Generation Students" and is the Chief Strategist for the "First Gen & Juice" brand.
In this episode we cover: Her first-generation and stop-out story as well as how she got involved in working with first-generation and nontraditional students. The importance of language and understanding of terms like, “non-traditional,” “adult learner,” and “stop out student.” The common challenges and myths that nontraditional students and adult learners face as well as resources, support systems, and tips to advocate for yourself. She also shares advice for those who may be in similar situations and are considering returning to school.
You can connect with LT on LinkedIn, on Instagram, in the Empowering First-Generation Students Facebook Group, and by watching her First Gen Legacy videos with LT and her mother.
