The data shows it: Dual credit courses give students a head start in both coursework requirements and affordability, making the transition to college much easier and more likely. A powerful signal about what access to dual credit can mean for Ky's students. #KYHigherEdMatters

It’s not the major—it’s the student mindset. Too many times, they pick what sounds “fun” or "interesting" without a plan for life after the diploma. Strong, intentional advising from day one helps connect passion to purpose - and CPE is working to improve that. #KYHigherEdMatters

When we talk about the student mental health crisis, we often focus on diagnoses. But stress, especially from work, caregiving and isolation, can be just as harmful. Empathy and connection matter when it comes to retention and completion. #KYHigherEdMatters
