Leaders of seven area colleges and universities are optimistic a new approach will help them graduate more students with degrees.
The Tulsa Higher Education Consortium grew out of work to improve Tulsa Community College students’ experience transferring to other local institutions, and the organization wants to continue streamlining that process to make it easier for students to earn their degrees.
THE Consortium Executive Director Dr. Laura Latta said something to keep in mind is the seven member institutions 40,000 students are a diverse group, so a one-size-fits-all education won’t work. Nearly half of students are age 25 or older and have jobs, homes and families, and students of color will likely be a majority of the area’s college students in the next 10 years.

House Agriculture Committee Chairman and Georgia Congressman David Scott has introduced legislation to make scholarships for 1890s Land Grant Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Leaders from the 19 Land Grant HBCUs laid out to Congress how a fresh infusion of funding provided by Congress will help educate and train the next generation of agriculture workers. Scott said the testimony will help members of the committee work to make the $80 million scholarship program permanent.
“We are moving to make this scholarship program permanent and in order to do that we want to make sure we have the evidence to present that,” Scott said in a release. “I want to be able to get on the record, all of what this scholarship program means to each of you.”
