Gradcut ?? is proud to support Aurora Education Foundation in creating generational change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to realise their full education and employment potential – whether it is completing Year 12 or achieving a PhD from Oxford. Here are some statistics to think about: - First Nations students made up just 2.06 per cent of domestic university enrolments nationally — well below population parity, with census data showing 3.8 per cent of Australians are Indigenous. - At Australia's most prestigious institutions, the figures are even lower, with Indigenous students representing little more than 1 per cent of domestic students at the elite Group of Eight (Go8) universities. - In 2020, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 29% of all prisoners, despite comprising just 3.1% of the total working-age population. - Financial barriers were identified as an issue for both prospective and enrolled Indigenous students, with 90% of universities highlighting financial constraints as a barrier to enrollment or completion of university education. Gradcut?? is committed to donating $1 from each graduation clip sold to advance Indigenous students’ access to higher education. #graduation #graduationvideo #education #support

We've recently been interviewing some of the 3,278 readers who've contacted us to share what having free access to one of University of Michigan Press's books has meant to them. The stories have inspired me, intrigued me, and sometimes made me cry. You can learn more about our project to speak with real OA book readers here: https://lnkd.in/gSguxmnp. I know that almost 2,741,088 accesses from over 229 countries and territories is a big number, and we love sharing our Book Analytics Service public dashboard (https://lnkd.in/gFhGnYA2). It's also exciting to see the monthly growth, jumping to over 100,000 accesses in March. But it's that human connection that makes all the difference. If some of the voices resonate with you, I hope you'll support our work. Charles ---------------- Here are a few snippets. You can read more responses here: https://bit.ly/3ICn7MK "I am a first-generation student working part-time on top of a full course load. Having to spend tens to hundreds of dollars to access articles and scholarly books would make writing research papers next to impossible for me. Seeing that a source I need is open-access or otherwise available for free takes a great burden off my shoulders." "Please make more materials open-access. It would help world scholarship a lot. I am from the Philippines and much of our research would be better informed if we had access to more materials." "I am such a big fan of this being available to me without having to go through a login or paywall. It is 4am and I am crying Real Human Tears. My day has been made. Thank you." "Read FT, NY Times, Wash post regular basis. That's just today's news. Your collection should give understanding what is under today's headlines. The background matters." "I'm not an academic and it's purely for personal interest. Since I no longer have a connection to a university or university library and academic books tend to be ludicrously expensive and beyond my budget for just a hobby read, the fact that it's free online is the only reason I would have access to this information, so thanks for making an accessible option." "I'd like to thank the University of Michigan Press web-site for such help for my job! Such a beautiful and useful book for scholars is available for free - it's really important nowadays. University people and scholars from the whole world need to have an open-access and easy-sharing of their materials with each other. So, once again, thank you all for such an opportunity!" "As a person with visual impairment, I found the book contents accessible with my screen reading software." "Have open-access books is pivotal for our student population, many of whom come from low-resource communities and often find textbooks cost-prohibitive to completing courses and academic credits successfully. "

"Attention ARRT members! ?? As professionals in the field of medical imaging and radiation therapy, we have the opportunity to influence our recognition and status through the upcoming review of the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Today is Give to the?Max Day in MN and if you plan to donate, I'd encourage you to consider Breakthrough Twin Cities. I have been a Board Member since 2021 and currently Chair the Governance Committee.... and continue to be impressed by their mission and outcomes.?If you aren't in a place?to donate?but would like to get involved, let me know too. The students are incredible, they have impressive (and challenging) backgrounds?and even more ambitious?aspirations. I'd be?happy?to connect you with one-time or ongoing ways to serve. What is Breakthrough? It's an organization committed to guiding students in 6th through 12th grade towards college readiness, but also preparing future educators in hopes that more kids can have teachers who have similar backgrounds and experiences to them. A few stats to back it up: ?? During 2023 - 2024, we created a community where 560 students felt supported, seen, and valued. We are now making an even bigger impact serving 657 students- 17% growth! ?? 100% of the Class of 2024 students who applied were accepted to college.? ?? The average annual scholarship awarded to a 2024 BTC graduate was $44,818.? ?? 70% of the 2024 Teaching Fellow cohort identified as people of color, providing role models that students truly see themselves in– sometimes for the very first time in a classroom.? ?? 98% of those Teaching Fellows report growth as a teacher. This past summer, over one-third of the Teaching Fellow cohort were returners, which is the highest it has ever been. Thanks for considering and let me know if you ever want to join me to learn more. We are always interested in volunteers and potential Board Members.
