If Higher Ed Is Too Expensive, Why Are Community Colleges So Affordable? - Dr. Shawn Powell, President, Eastern New Mexico University - Roswell


It's YOUR time to #EdUp with Dr. Shawn Powell, President, Eastern New Mexico University - Roswell
In this episode, President Series #476, powered by Ellucian, sponsored by EdUp Leadership, the HigherEd PodCon II happening July 16 & 17, & the 2026 AcOps Conference July 29-31 by Coursedog
YOUR host is Dr. Joe Sallustio
- How does a community college on a former SAC bomber base where the Enola Gay stopped serve rural southeastern New Mexico with nursing, aviation maintenance & workforce credentials?
- Why do students in their 40s, 50s & 60s with Airframe & Powerplant licenses come back for 15 credit hours to get associate degrees so they can move into management?
- What makes the mission to enrich lives through learning win over meeting student & community needs when the president's vote was 1 of only 2 for his preferred option?
