I am thrilled to be partnering with Jacob Askeroth, Ph.D. on understanding digital credentials' visual design patterns. Check out his recent AACRAO Credentials Chat with Noah Geisel.

I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this impactful research, which showed how behavioral nudges, delivered via chatbot, can effectively help students complete crucial tasks like FAFSA verifications and class registrations. This work highlights the power of personalized reminders in improving student retention and success.

In "Joining Hands Across Institutions Makes Light Work," Karena Nguyen, Ph.D., Paola Cepeda, Anne-Sophie BOHRER, and Matthew Warner discuss the benefits of cross-institutional collaborations in higher education. Implementing the PhD Career Ladder Program (PCLP) has successfully enhanced career development for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars through a peer-led, cohort-based approach. This initiative highlights the power of communities of practice in expanding bandwidth and addressing implementation challenges.
