I think about community colleges a lot. This might sound like an obvious statement considering I work at one. But I think about how we, as a society, talk about and respond to community colleges— or don’t. They are institutions that serve people of all ages, interests, and backgrounds, which I consider to be one of the most exciting parts of working at a reference desk at a community college library.

You might be asking: just how important is onboarding in HigherEd, and how much of a difference can digitized onboarding really make? The answer? It makes a HUGE difference.

Currently, employers who apply for H-1B petitions at the beginning of the fiscal year in April for international graduates they want to hire will generally have it approved before October 1, when s
