Pathways Program in This Month's "East of the River" Magazine

"AoH’s Pathways Prepares Adult Learners For Success" is the headline of an article in the February edition of East of the River Magazine. You can pick up a copy for yourself at any of these locations, or read it online here.

The article is a good overview of what's happening in Pathways program and why it's so important. It's a timely read too, as author Steve Lilienthal notes:
Recently, there has been a great deal of focus in Congress and the higher education community on for-profit institutions accepting poorly prepared students. It’s not a minor issue. The danger for many GED recipients with marginal academic skills is that their financial aid will be dissipated paying for remedial courses that must be taken to improve skills, but do not count as credit for their degrees. Pathways can help to prevent students from suffering such shocks.

If you haven't already, be sure to also check out this article in The Washington Informer, which quotes AoH student Ernestine McSwain.
