Conflict of Interest

presentation. Any use of brand names is not in any way meant to be
an endorsement of a specific product, but to merely illustrate a
point of emphasis.

Objectives
Learning objectives for this presentation: To identify key elements that facilitate
successful education and career pathways;
To describe a collaborative pathway modelbetween a 2-year and 4-year institution;
To explore how associate degree graduates can advance their educational
and career goals.

What if everyone, everywhere,
did the same thing,in the same way,
without giving thought to
how things could be?If only I had thought of
that!If only I had tried…
Education is portable.
Programs can emerge,
evolve and expand.
Finish lines are elusive.
Pathways…a blank slate
Unique in Structure, Similar in Purpose
