“When I received my 4-year degree that I had wanted for my life, I felt like time froze, that I was in a capsule and nothing was moving, and no one really understood the level of the impact that it had on me," says Dorothy Mae-Barr Moore @TheGradNetwork spr.ly/60133emz5

“God put something in me to have a hunger for education,” Dorothy Mae-Barr Moore, 71: As fate would have it, the @universityofky's Donovan Scholars Program for 65+ Kentuckians provided Dorothy with an opportunity she needed. @TheGradNetwork @CPENews @cpepres #KYHigherEdMatters
The number of adults in the U.S. who have some college but no degree is vast: 45 million adults age 25+, about 20% of the adult population. Adult learners need support to meet their education goals. @TheGradNetwork @AARP #Education spr.ly/60113VVWX

An awesome collab last fall w/ @TheGradNetwork - a non-profit moving adults to college success.
