The program integrated embedded tutors to help students struggling with General Education courses—guiding them toward earning their degrees. Megan then discusses the trend of rising tuition costs and affordability challenges. Our guest also reflects on what she wishes she had known before she started teaching and shares a book that is currently changing the way she thinks.
