Today is a historic day in our nation’s history. Whether you are happy or sad, angry or hopeful, today will shape and impact higher education for years to come. For many of you, we know that accessing higher education is already an uncertain journey. And for some of you from marginalized backgrounds, Dreamers and DACA recipients, undocumented students, LGBTQ students, refugees, and those with family members in global crises abroad in Israel, Gaza, and Ukraine, we know that your journey to higher education may seem even more uncertain now, not just for you but for your family as well. We want you to know that Barrier Breakers®, Inc. is here for you. All of you. We are committed to supporting each of you on your journey, recognizing the unique challenges you may face. We want you to know that you have resources and a supportive community to lean on during this time. We also are dedicated to helping you find a higher education home in a community that feels safe, that aligns with your values, and that can help you thrive into the young adult, or working professional you are called to be. Barrier Breakers is about more than simply getting you into a school or program; we are about making sure you thrive. Now, more than ever, we will continue to do personal outreach to each of our students on campuses across the country, checking in with you and making sure that you have the support system you need. We are doubling down on our support within our alumni community and extending more resources to connect our students to one another so that nobody feels alone, especially now. Whether you are a current Barrier Breakers student, past Barrier Breakers student, or simply part of our online community, please reach out to us if you need support. Our goal is to make sure you feel seen, heard, and valued as a part of our community. In challenging moments, remember why you started this journey. Barrier Breakers is here to help you stay grounded and supported as you work toward your goals. We believe in your potential and are ready to stand alongside you. Take care of yourselves, lean on each other, and know that we are dedicated to helping you succeed, every step of the way. In closing, I will leave you all with this prayer. I pray that God watches over you and keeps you in your higher education journey; I pray that you are constantly reminded, no matter what anyone may say about you, your community, or your background, that you are worthy, that you have a purpose, and that there is a plan and a calling on your future. I pray that you see yourself as enough and as capable of achieving your academic goals. I pray that you never stop fighting for what you believe and stand tall and advocate for your truth. I pray that God will bring you resources to support you and that you remember that God sees you even when times look dark. I pray that you have the strength of Esther and know that you are here for such a time as this. https://lnkd.in/e3AD9VWW

Higher education leaders, policymakers, and employers must reckon with the fact that while our future economy will increasingly depend on workers with higher levels of education, both interest and confidence in higher education are declining. Bridging the significant disconnect between higher education institutions, the American public, and the workforce will require greater levels of transparency and accountability. In 2025 and beyond, our work will continue to highlight the need for more comprehensive data that broadens our understanding of the relationship between education and careers.
