Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Jayson Boyers, a first-generation student himself who is part of a new breed of higher education leaders hailing from the business community. As the president of Rosemont College, a very small liberal arts school in the greater Philadelphia area, Boyers is focused on innovative ways to meet student needs wherever they are.

Podcast Highlights

• By looking at prospective students as whole people apart from their GPAs, Rosemont has been able to effectively target students who are likely to be most successful at their school.
• With increasing speculation about how small colleges will survive in today's changing economy, Boyers is using skills from his business background to differentiate, build a strong identity, and seek out students that match the school's mission.
• Through strong relationships and partnerships with employers, and with different teaching modalities, Rosemont is positioned to meet the needs of students wherever they are, which is helping to fill educational and skills gaps that ultimately strengthen the workforce.
