August 10, 2020 — The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education names ����ר��’s Greg Wieland to its newly formed Student Advisory Group. CPE announced the inaugural 22 students to lead the advisory panel, which offers diverse perspectives on concerns and policies in higher education.

Wieland is earning his BA in Political Science and is member of ����ר��’s program.

“Students are facing the most challenging academic year in memory, and this group provides an invaluable opportunity to understand their unique needs and circumstances,” said CPE President Aaron Thompson. “We’re eager to learn from their experiences and engage on the issues that matter most to them.”

The group is comprised of students from public, two-year and four-year institutions across the state. All of them have completed at least one year of college credit, and their areas of study range from biology and physical therapy to agribusiness, communications and political science, among others.

Participants cited a broad spectrum of ideas, reflections and concerns in their applications to CPE, including college affordability, more access to mental health services, more inclusion and equity on campus, and stronger supports and resources for student success.

The group will hold its first meeting on Aug. 13 to discuss goals for the year.
