In this episode of Telling Our Story, Leticia chats with five guests from Lehman College in the Bronx, New York. They share the story behind the institution’s Credit for Prior Learning initiative, which allows students to earn elective credits through various approved programs. The initiative aims to boost graduation rates by addressing issues such as unmet liberal arts credit requirements and delayed credit transfers, especially for students from underrepresented backgrounds.

Guests include:

• Fernando Delgado, president
• Richard Finger, vice president, enrollment management
• Alisa Cooper-Spain, coordinator, Credit for Prior Learning
• Luis Mendez, alumnus
• Viridiana Coyt, alumna
