这些大学,——有些人称之为“没有围墙的大学”,是普及高等教育工作的前沿阵地,尤其对于那些要依靠全职工作来养家糊口的低收入学生来说,更是这样。在我访问期间,我 听到了一些激动人心的故事,学生们利用这些弹性的学习模式来读取学位,这样他们便能踏上新的职业征途。
One of those students is Shawn Lee, a student at Rio Salado College in Tempe. He has a compelling story: After dropping out of college decades ago, he found himself in a series of low-paying, often back-breaking jobs. He recently decided to get his degree—and I’ve found this is a pretty common refrain at community colleges—when he had his first child and wanted to start building a better life.
有一位名叫Shawn Lee的同学,他在滕比市的Rio Salado学院读书,他的故事非常动人。十几年前,他从大学辍学,之后做了好几份低收入、重体力的工作。 前不久,他决定要读一个大学学位,这时候的他已有了第一个子女,而且希望缔造一份更好的生活——我发现这是一个在社区大学很常见的畏惧心态。
Tucked away in an industrial park in Tempe, Rio Salado doesn’t look much like a traditional institute of higher education. There were no students running to class. No ivy-covered walls. Just a couple of glass-faced office buildings.
Rio Salado学院深藏在滕比市的工业园区中,她与传统的高校看起来不太一样。这里看不到学生匆忙赶课,没有长满常青藤的围墙,只有几栋玻璃外饰的办公楼。
