How To Improve Graduation Rates, Salaries & Employment
contact

How To Improve Graduation Rates, Salaries & Employment nkithcart Mon, 09/28/2026 - 13:33 The cost of a degree keeps climbing, and so does the debt students carry to earn one. That has put pressure on colleges to prove a program pays off in real jobs at real wages.Sam Dreyfus, Executive Vice President of ECPI University, recently joined The EdUp Experience to argue that colleges should be judged by what happens to their graduates. The EdUp Experience is a higher education podcast hosted by Dr. Jodi Blinco, with co-host Robert Graham, CEO of Poll Everywhere, that features discussions with leaders across colleges and universities.Listen to the full conversation for Dreyfus's take on measuring student success and ECPI University's generational mission that started with Alfred Dreyfus.What makes a college education worth the investment?For Dreyfus, the measure of a college education is what happens to students after they finish their degree. It comes down to a career outcome, whether a graduate lands a job in their field at a wage that makes the degree worth it. Holding a school to that standard puts the burden on the college to prove the result, and the proof needs to be upfront, before a student commits to enrolling."I would label myself a transparency absolutist," Dreyfus says. "I think that someone that is going into school should know their likelihood of success for that program."There are three specific metrics that he points to: graduation rate, employment rate, and median salary, reported program by program. What moves those numbers keeps changing, and right now much of it comes down to AI.Dreyfus points out that a worker who knows how to use AI can be far more effective than one who doesn't, and that employers increasingly want to hire people who already have that skill. That expectation raises the bar for what a program has to teach. The schools that adjust quickly are the ones best positioned to keep their employment and salary numbers strong.How does ECPI University design around student success and outcomes?ECPI University has always built its programs around preparing students for careers in their field. The university meets regularly with employer partners through advisory boards and updates its curriculum based on their feedback. That way, what's being taught is reflective of current industry needs and standards.The technologies today are different, but this approach has stayed the same since the university opened in 1966 to teach computer programming.Preparing students for today's careers increasingly means teaching them to use AI. At ECPI University, that work happens inside the courses themselves, many of which integrate AI as part of the coursework. Students develop general AI fluency and judgment alongside the role-specific skills their field calls for, with AI tutors available as an added resource for support outside class hours.Beyond the classroom, a dedicated Career Services team also helps students prepare for the job search, with support like resume guidance, interview practice, and connections to the employer relationships the university has built. That support continues after graduation, since the goal is rarely the degree itself. How To Improve Graduation Rates, Salaries & Employment

For Immediate Release: For Media Inquiries: Friday, December 15, 2023 Public Communications Officer 407-327-5955 [email protected] City Clerk (407) 327-6560 [email protected] Winter Springs accepting applications for City Chaplain program WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. --On Monday, December 11, the Winter Springs Commission passed Resolution 2022-27 authorizing the creation of a voluntary City Chaplain position. The program will serve residents, City staff, and their families by providing guidance, counseling, consultation, and other forms of human crisis intervention to those in need regardless of religious affiliation, race, gender, sex, or national origin. Chaplains will serve for one year, subject to re-appointment by the Commission. Those interested in participating in the program must complete a volunteer application and submit it to the Winter Springs City Clerk's office by January 11, 2024. To be eligible for the role of City Chaplain, individuals must be residents of the State of Florida, uphold exemplary moral and ethical standards, and exhibit a compassionate and understanding demeanor toward individuals of all backgrounds, irrespective of race, national origin, gender, ability, or religion. Additionally, candidates must be ready and capable of responding to situations necessitating the presence of a City Chaplain. Approval from the City Commission of the City of Winter Springs is required. Application can also be submitted by mail at: City of Winter Springs ATTN: City Clerk 1126 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 For questions about the program, please contact the City Clerk's Office at (407) 327-6560 or [email protected]. City of Winter Springs 1126 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 www.winterspringsfl.org RESOLUTION NUMBER 2022- 27 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CREATION OF A VOLUNTARY CITY CHAPLAIN POSITION; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF PRIOR INCONSISTENT RESOLUTIONS; SEVERABILITY; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the City of Winter Springs is granted the authority, under§ 2( b), Art. VI11 of the State Constitution, to exercise any power for municipal purposes, except when expressly prohibited by law; and WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City Commission of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, to create an unpaid, voluntary City Chaplain position within the City government; and WHEREAS, governments operating within the United States have a longstanding history of appointing and working with chaplains at the federal, state, and local level. For example, chaplains are employed federally in the Veterans Administration, Department of Justice, and the Department of Defense. The First Congress of the United States utilized the services of a chaplain, and presently both the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives have official chaplains. The State of Florida House of Representatives also utilizes the services of a chaplain. Local governments have historically used chaplains as well and continue to do so to the present day. Often local governments appoint chaplains to serve within police departments, fire departments, schools, and/ or hospitals; and WHEREAS, a chaplain may serve many functions which would be beneficial to the City, including: providing counseling and support to City employees; acting as a liaison between the City government and local faith groups; providing invocations before or benedictions after official City meetings or events; coordinating with local faith groups to schedule guest chaplains to provide invocations before City meetings; providing spiritual counseling to City personnel as requested by said personnel; and providing moral support to the City at large during times of crisis; and WHEREAS, in Town of Greece, N. Y. v. Galloway, 572 U. S. 565 ( 2014), the Supreme Court of the United States held that prayer conducted by a chaplain to open town board meetings does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution so long as the government does not dictate what religion the chaplain belongs to or the content of the prayer; and WHEREAS, in Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U. S. 783 ( 1983), the Supreme Court of the United States held that the practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is a part of the fabric of society deeply rooted in the history and tradition of the nation and therefore does not violate the Establishment Clause; and Resolution Number 2022- 27 City of Winter Springs, Florida Page 1 of 4 WHEREAS, in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, 142 S. Ct. 2407 ( 2022), the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Establishment Clause must be interpreted by reference to historical practices and understandings, and that the line that governments must draw between permissible and impermissible activities under the Establishment Clause must accord with history and must reflect the understanding of the founders; and WHEREAS, in Williamson v. Brevard County, 928 F. 3d 1296 ( llth Cir. 2019), the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals found that a local government violates the Establishment Clause when it chooses chaplains in a manner which categorically excludes members of certain religions, or which otherwise engages in discrimination by expressing a preference for chaplains of one religious denomination over another. The Eleventh Circuit further reasoned that chaplains must be chosen based upon neutral, secular, criteria to comply with the Establishment Clause; and WHEREAS, in Atheists of Florida, Inc. v. City of Lakeland, Fla., 713 F. 3d 577 ( 1 lth Cir. 2013), the Eleventh Circuit found that a City' s selection process for invocation speakers does not violate the Establishment Clause if the selection process does not advance or disparage any particular faith. The Eleventh Circuit further found that the No-Aid Clause of the Florida Constitution, FL CONST. Art. 1 § 3, is not violated where invocation- givers and chaplains are unpaid volunteers and where no religious group receives a pecuniary benefit; and WHEREAS, the City Commission is relying upon the aforementioned legal authority for the purposes of adopting this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the City Commission recognizes that the City Chaplain position must not be used to advance or disparage any particular religion. The City Commission further does not intend for the Chaplain position to create an excessive entanglement of church and state; and WHEREAS, the City Commission recognizes that the City Chaplain position shall be unpaid and voluntary, and that no religious group shall receive a pecuniary benefit in association with the Chaplain position, and that the City will comport with the requirements of FL CoNST. Art. 1§ 3, which provides T] here shall be no law respecting the establishment of religion or that "[ prohibiting or penalizing the free exercise thereof. Religious freedom shall not justify practices inconsistent with public morals, peace or safety. No revenue of the state or any political subdivision or agency thereof shall ever be taken from the public treasury directly or indirectly in aid of any church, sect, or religious denomination or in aid of any sectarian institution;" and WHEREAS, the City Commission recognizes that City Chaplain positions shall be open to persons of all faiths and that the Chaplain shall be chosen via a set of secular selection criteria; and WHEREAS, the City Commission recognizes that the appointment of chaplains whose duty is to serve a governmental entity and to provide support to Government officers, agents, and employees, has a longstanding history and tradition in the United States; and Resolution Number 2022- 27 City of Winter Springs, Florida Page 2 of 4 WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Winter Springs hereby finds that this Ordinance is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Winter Springs; and NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS HEREBY ORDAINS, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.
