Join presenters Mark McCormick (Salem Community College), MaryAnn Westerfield, and Dorothy Abruzzo-Klumpp (Cumberland County College) for an insightful exploration of Regional Program Sharing. This initiative highlights two innovative models: Model One where students spend their first year at their home institution and second year at a host institution, and Model Two which features a cohort program starting at the host institution. The discussion will cover the advantages of these models while addressing key considerations such as academic advisement, financial aid, and institutional marketing.
