Hey folks, we're back after a quick summer break. Hope you missed us! As many parents pack their kids off to college this month, it's important to remember that almost two out of five college students in the U.S. attends a community college. These are students who are often working full time, caring for family members, or going back to school to learn new skills. Oh, and another thing, community colleges don't brag about how “selective” they are – all are welcome. Our guest on this episode of Let's Hear It is Eloy Ortiz Oakley, the President and CEO of the College Futures Foundation – a California foundation helping students who are facing the greatest barriers to succeed in college and beyond. Eloy was previously the Chancellor of the California Community College system - the largest system of higher education in the United States, and third largest system of higher education in the world, serving more than 1.8 million students. He is also a former Regent of the University of California system. If anyone knows about what's working and what's not in higher education, it's Eloy. Eric and Eloy have a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation about Eloy's own educational journey, the challenges of elitism in higher education, and role philanthropy can play in ensuring a more equitable system.
