Now that a new general education program has been approved, we begin implementation. This presentation reviews the genesis and rationale of the program, the program structure and content, and the implementation process -- all in terms relevant to prospective students and those who interact with them in the admissions process
This presentation focuses less on the "nitty gritty" aspects of applying to college, and instead focuses on how to give advice regarding major decisions. It addresses various misconceptions about college to ensure students can make informed decisions.
High School Career Development ProgramsErica Swallow
During my final quarter at the MIT Sloan School of Management, I conducted an independent study about social entrepreneurship in the education sector, primarily focused on current players and existing opportunities in the space. I collaborated with education non-profit Noble Impact to determine how the high school education system might be transformed by greater involvement from communities and businesses.
My research entailed three stages: Internet research, phone and in-person interviews with key players at non-profits and businesses, and creation of a final report, which you’ll find attached to this email.
My research was focused on four questions:
- How are high school students currently engaged in career development?
- Which businesses are most engaged in K-12 education? How and why?
- What scalable opportunities exist to solve the skills gap between the classroom and workforce?
- What should I do after MIT Sloan to have the greatest impact in education?
The final report covers my key findings for the first two questions – insights were pulled from interviews with recruiters, students, non-profit leaders, and corporate giving professionals. The report also covers potential opportunities that Noble Impact or other organizations could implement to improve career-oriented programming offered to high school students. Lastly, the report gives a very brief insight into where my head’s at for post-Sloan plans.
INSPIRATION FOR THIS PROJECT
I was inspired to conduct this project for two key reasons: Education has been a life-changer for me, and Noble Impact’s work inspired me to think harder about how I could contribute to improving education in America.
As a first-generation college (and graduate) student, I’ve observed and relished in the difference furthering my education has made in my life, as compared with the trajectories of my siblings, cousins, and elders. Education not only pulled me out of poverty, but it also opened my mind to the many ways in which I could l contribute to the world.
Last year, I was invited to judge Noble Impact’s Arkansas High School Startup Weekend, and I was amazed by what the students were capable of producing: Full product prototypes, pitch presentations, and compelling arguments for why their business ideas were important. At the time, I didn’t consider how I might contribute to their experience beyond my duty as a judge, but as my second year of Sloan began to wrap up, I reflected upon my two years in business school and realized that my time in Little Rock with those motivated, talented students was the most inspiring time of my MBA. After starting a dialogue with Noble Impact CEO Eric Wilson, I decided I couldn’t end my semester without a deep dive into the education world. And thus, this project was born.

1. UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD RATED TOP BY STUDENTS
Students at the University of Sheffield have the best experience of university life, a survey has found.
The Times Higher Student Experience Survey asked more than 14,000 students to rate the quality of lectures,
staff, social life and accommodation.
Also in the top 10 were Bath, the University of East Anglia, Dundee, Oxford, Cambridge, Exeter, Durham, Leeds
and Nottingham. Sheffield's vice-chancellor said he was "delighted and humbled".
Prof Sir Keith Burnett said: "This award reflects a genuine partnership between our students and the university.
"That is a partnership we will never take for granted. I would like to thank all those students who voted for this
tremendous encouragement."
A breakdown of the results by category shows that Oxford was the best rated by students for high-quality staff
and lectures while Bath scored highest for connections with industry.
Times Higher Education magazine has carried out the survey for the past nine years.
Undergraduates across the UK were asked about 21 aspects of university life.
Editor John Gill said: "Universities are spending ever more time and money trying to get the 'student
experience' right, as they face up to competition for students not just locally and nationally, but also
internationally."
