On July 16, MASU CEO Dan Hurley participated in a panel discussion at the 69th annual meeting of the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) association held in Washington, D.C. The discussion focused on statewide approaches to re-enrolling students with some college, but who have not completed a degree. Good progress is being made as a result of state programs and initiatives such as MASU’s partnership with ReUP Education, which is partnering with several Michigan public universities in facilitating re-enrollment and degree completion among formerly stopped-out students.
