Beyond the Degree: Exploring Career Development in Higher Ed w/ Dr. Qunna Morrow

Dr. Qunna Morrow is a chiropractor and higher education administrator with over 13 to 14 years of experience. Her passion for higher education stems from her background in a family of educators and her desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. She initially pursued a career in chiropractic but later transitioned into teaching and curriculum development at a local community college. Through her journey in career education and traditional education, she learned the importance of access to education, affordability, and ensuring graduates are marketable.Dr. Morrow emphasizes the need for students to have options and be aware of alternative educational pathways. She believes that students should explore different modalities and find the best fit for their lives, whether it be a traditional four-year institution, career education, or online learning. Access to education is crucial because many students may not be aware of the options available to them beyond the traditional paths promoted by their communities or families. Dr. Morrow aims to inform students and parents about the range of opportunities and help them make informed decisions.In terms of the challenges of access and affordability, Dr. Morrow highlights that while access to education is easier than people think, many individuals lack awareness of scholarships, financial aid, and alternative educational programs. Affordability is a significant concern, especially in the current economic climate. People may question the value of investing in education when there are entry-level job opportunities available that do not require a degree. The perceived cost of education can deter individuals from pursuing higher education, and affordability becomes a critical factor to address.Overall, Dr. Morrow emphasizes the importance of providing students with information, options, and support to help them make informed decisions about their education. She believes in the value of career education and ensuring that individuals have access to quality education that aligns with their goals and aspirations.Have Questions?
