Ryan Fewins-Bliss is the Executive Director of the Michigan College Access Network (MCAN). He shares his thoughts on the messages first-generation, BIPOC, and other students and families are receiving about going going to college, and how we need to have a data-informed approach to counteracting these messages that college is not for you. Ryan talks about the DNA of manufacturing and cars in Michigan and how that is changing and leading to the need for an educated workforce with certificates and degrees. His message about engaging communities, how colleges and college students can help, and that we all need to help students dream big, will inspire us as educators to have continuing conversations about our roles.
