In this special three-segment series for Autism Awareness Month, join us, Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde of Let’s Talk Ed, as we discuss inclusivity in higher education. From words, to actions, to understanding, and finally to meaningful support. We challenge the common misconception that accommodation is the way, whereas in reality, it is empathy, mercy, and compassion that are key to a siblinghood with the learners for success.

In the first segment, "Understanding Autism in the Context of Higher Education," we explore how autism can affect individuals on the spectrum and their journey through college and beyond. Zahi shares some of his struggles as an administrator on the spectrum. 

Next, in "Creating an Inclusive College Campus: Welcoming, Diversity & Belonging," we discuss practical strategies for building a campus environment that embraces diversity and fosters a sense of belonging for all students, including those with autism. We stress the need to really aim for equity, and not just settle for equality in higher education. 

In the final segment, "What Inclusivity is NOT!", we debunk common misconceptions and highlight why true inclusivity goes beyond mere token gestures. The rigor must remain untrammeled, but the support that each person requires should be tailored to help them reach the goals. We argue that it is not about laxity or ableism. Rather it is about an empowerment for learners to have a solid foundation as a starting place in their education.

Like every week on Let's Talk Ed, we delve into the much-needed transformation of colleges to better support non-traditional students. We, Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde, along with special guest Eric Painter, a US Army veteran turned community college professor, explore innovative strategies for enhancing the college experience, retention and success.

In Segment 1: "Non-Traditional: A US Army Veteran's Journey to Becoming a Community College Professor”, we talk about the quintessential importance of class scheduling in allowing non-traditional student to attend and succeed in college. A schedule could be the reason why potential students don’t go to college, or drop out of college, or simply don’t succeed. A schedule is not just what is convenient for us as staff and faculty. It is a path to success in itself. Eric Painter shares his perspective as a veteran journeying from military service to academia, highlighting the unique challenges and triumphs faced by non-traditional students pursuing higher education.

Segment 2: "Building the Esprit de Corps: Clubs, Activities, Cohorts, Learning Communities” tackles the importance of fostering a sense of belonging and community through clubs, activities, cohorts, and learning communities, creating a supportive environment for students of all backgrounds. Neglecting these essential success builders is a common college administration decision that hurts students, and ultimately the college.

And, finally, in Segment 3: "A Hero's Perspective: If US Army Veteran Had the Magic Wand to Change College”, we arm Eric Painter with omnipotent powers and seek his perspective on transforming community colleges to better meet the needs of non-traditional students, offering valuable recommendations for positive change.

Help us to empower learners by creating inclusive and student-centered community college environments! Join the Education Revolution!!!!!!

This week Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde from Let’s Talk Ed explore the concept of: Crafting a Welcoming College Experience. This time we explore how to attract, retain, and support students from start to finish.

In segment 1: "Building the Attractive Campus: Architecture and Uniqueness in College Design”. Discover how innovative architecture and unique design elements can reshape a campus environment that attracts students and seals their choice. The key is not to fall into an arms race across colleges and end up escalating the cost of college education. 

Segment 2 entitled: "Flexibility: Designing Class Schedules for Every Student's Life Requirements” explores strategies for designing class schedules that accommodate the diverse needs of students, including part-time learners, working professionals, and those balancing family responsibilities. How can we go back to the drawing board to provide access and support for every type of students. 

And finally, in segment 3: "Guiding the Path: Advising, Counseling, and Retention Strategies for College Successes”, we talk about effective advising, counseling, and retention initiatives that support students throughout their academic journey, ensuring their success in college and beyond. We stress the significance of a variety of strategies that promote student retention and success. For us it is a question of equity, not just equality.
