over 500 higher education professionals annually to discuss
integrating technology into campus operations and fostering
innovative approaches to transfer credit and student success.
AACRAO is a non-profit, voluntary, professional association
working to make higher education more responsive to learner needs.
With a membership of nearly 14,000 higher education professionals
representing approximately 2,300 institutions in more than 40
countries, the association provides advocacy, research, and
policy-based guidance and training to higher education
professionals to smooth the path for learners at every stage of
their journey.
“At University of Phoenix, we are deeply committed to leadership
and innovation in fostering credit mobility and student success,”
shares Andrews. “The AACRAO Technology & Transfer Summit is an
important platform for sharing cutting-edge strategies and
transformative solutions that address the evolving needs of
students. We are pleased to contribute to the dialogue and advance
practices that benefit the entire higher education community.”
Andrews and her colleagues are at the forefront of advancing a
culture of credit mobility at the University and implementing
skills-aligned learning and badging initiatives. Their innovative
approaches to the role of credentials, certifications, and
competency-based-learning in higher education have been featured at
national conferences and their strategic insights have been
instrumental in shaping and adding value to the conversation around
learning mobility for working adult students. Through their
commitment to excellence and innovation, they continue to drive
noteworthy progress in the field.
University of Phoenix is home to many recognized thought
leaders, contributing to national dialogues on higher education.
