Podcast: For-Profit Education & Who-Do of the Month for July 2010

Jamie Nacht Farrell contributed this week’s edition of Monday Morning Quarterback on HigherEdCareerCoach.Com, arguing that public and non-profit institutions could learn a thing or two from for-profit institutions. She’ll be one of our featured guests. We’ll also pick her brain about Senator Tom Harkins’ hearings on admissions fraud at for-profit institutions, and the recent GAO study mentioned in this Washington Post Article. We’ll also talk to Ed Cabellon, our choice for Higher Ed Who-Do of the Month for July 2010. Cabellon, Director of the Rondileau Student Union at Bridgewater State University, has been leading an online crusade to get more student affairs/higher ed professionals involved in social media through his blog, On the Go with Ed Cabellon. We have also asked Senator Harkin’s office for comment on the recent hearings, and requested a statement or guest from that office appear on the show. Why not, right?

Sean Cook on Dennis Charles' Build Your Career with Passion Radio Show

Today it was my pleasure to be a guest on Dennis Charles’ new BlogTalkRadio show, “Build Your Career with Passion.” Dennis is a coach that works with recent college graduates to make successful transitions to the world of work. Through his Fourth Wave Institute, he is working on ways to help people build their careers upon the foundation of their passions.

I met Dennis through my involvement in Third Tribe, a great online community put together by Chris Brogan, Brian Clark, Darren Rowse and Sonia Simone, to help businesspeople learn to market themselves authentically and to leverage the potential of social media to expand their networks, find others with similar interests, and become more effective. Dennis is an amazing person and has been a guest host on my show a few times.

I hope you will listen to the episode and check out some of the other great interviews he is doing. I think you’ll find them very interesting and inspirational.

Who-Do Poll Results for July 2010

The Results are in…

Thanks to everyone who gave their input on who should be recognized as the Higher Ed “Who-Do?” of the month for July. After considering suggestions, I posted a poll last week with four nominees: Ed Cabellon, Eric Stoller, Rey Junco and Women in Housing. 41 people participated in the poll. The results are included below.

All the nominees were extremely worthy, and have made great contributions to higher ed, so Ed Cabellon, our “Who-Do” of the month for July 2010, was in great company. Ed will receive a lovely certificate (suitable for framing) and will receive consideration for this year’s “Who-Do Highsman” award, which will be announced in late May or early June 2011. The other nominees are still eligible for future consideration, so please send along your suggestions to me at sean@higheredcareercoach.com or @hiedcareercoach on Twitter.

Congratulations, Ed! You are doing great things to introduce new people and ideas to the higher ed community through your blog, twitter, and your live screencast interviews. Thanks for all you do, “Who-Do!”
