Campbell Selected for Aspen Institute’s Employer-Friendly Practices Project
Bethany Campbell, Director of Corporate Relations, was selected to participate in a project associated with the Aspen Institute’s Employer-Friendly Practices: A Guide for Higher Education, a resource designed to help colleges and universities strengthen partnerships with employers and better serve working learners.
Developed by UpSkill America at the Aspen Institute, the guide provides strategies for improving institutional practices, coordinating employer partnerships, and reducing barriers for students balancing education, work, and family responsibilities. It includes role-specific guidance and tools to help institutions assess their current practices and identify opportunities for improvement.
“It was an honor to be selected to serve on the advisory group for UpSkill America’s Employer-Friendly Practices project,” Campbell said. “Collaborating with experts from across the country to explore a topic so important to the future of higher education and workforce development was both insightful and rewarding. I am grateful to Haley Glover and the UpSkill America team for the opportunity, as well as to Athens State University for supporting my participation in this important initiative.”
Campbell’s selection reflects Athens State University’s continued engagement in efforts to connect higher education with workforce needs and expand educational opportunities for working adults. The project emphasizes building stronger relationships between colleges and employers to support student success and career advancement.
