Send us a textWhat if the future of community college enrollment isn’t just about 18-22-year-olds—but also 73-year-olds? In this episode, Jay sits down with Dr. Dan Predoehl, Assistant Dean of Extended Learning at Saddleback College and a nationally respected voice in equity-centered enrollment strategy.They explore Saddleback’s Emeritus Institute—one of the largest senior education programs in the country—and what it reveals about community connection, sustainability, and lifelong learning.Dan also shares his vision for a more aggressive, data-informed future for California’s community colleges, including coalition-building across departments, streamlined credit-for-prior-learning policies, and why it’s time to ditch the term “non-traditional student” altogether.From baseball metaphors to real-world policy shifts, this is a sharp and timely look at who college is really for—and where the future of enrollment might be headed.
