In the Know with ACCT

On this episode of In the Know, ACCT’s Director of Strategic Communications, David Conner, and I spoke with ACCT’s new Vice President of Public Policy, Carrie Warick-Smith. Carrie is coming to ACCT from the National College Attainment Network where she gained extensive insight into the issues effecting community colleges and community college students. She has a lot to offer ACCT, and I think you all will enjoy getting to know her. We’re truly excited to welcome Carrie to ACCT!
