Pennsylvania Convening on Holistic Credit Mobility
Briana Tyler (Zdradzinski), coordinator for Student Success and Transfer Engagement, and Lauren Posluszny '28 were featured panelists at the plenary session at the Pennsylvania Convening on Holistic Credit Mobility Monday, Nov. 3, Shippensburg University. The Convening was hosted by PASSHE and brought together stakeholders from across Pennsylvania and other states including Connecticut, Ohio and Kentucky, to discuss ways to improve transfer and credit mobility as well as credit for prior learning and military experiences. One of the major takeaways is that holistic credit mobility requires collaboration from faculty, staff, state systems and workforce partners.
