Grown-ups go back to school, too

I go back to school today, as do my students.  Most of them, especially in the evening classes, are non-tradtional students.  KPBS describes their requirements along with interviewing one of them in What It Takes For Non-Traditional College Students To Succeed In San Diego.

Roughly 50 percent of San Diego community college students are 25 or older. What does it take for those so-called "non-traditional students" to succeed in college?

Here's to my doing my part to offering my non-traditional students, who are usually my best students, a supportive academic environment.
