More of this, please. Be more like @MnOfficeHiEd, other states. Unless you're already like Minnesota. In which case, keep doing what you're doing. There that should make it crystal clear. "State offers help to students struggling with FAFSA forms"

Exciting day at #SHEEO2023 - Talking about enrollment with @OSRHEChancellor Garrett & then discussing P20 councils w/ @MnOfficeHiEd Commissioner Olson. Presenting with these talented folks - and bragging about KY on a national stage - is one of the things I love about my job.

On Friday, @dolsonjr met w/@gustavus & @MNSUMankato leadership & students on his statewide tour. Whether you're pursuing a credential or 4-yr degree, college is for everyone. Both MN private & public colleges use state grants to support students & break down financial barriers.
