I recently read about an interaction between employers and a college professor. The professor asked what the employers look for when hiring. In essence, the employers said they look for real world experience.
Not their GPA.
Not their test scores or transcripts.
Their what-have-you-done files…
Providing real experience has become the task of the school, and it’s one that has barely been embraced.

That’s not quite true. Here at CC, we want to increase student research and faculty/student collaboration. Part of the glory of the block plan is that students can go into the field and do research to generate a “what-have-you-done” file.
