This spring, we asked community colleges across the country to show off what truly makes their college unique in our first-ever Instagram challenge. And, whew, you had a lot to be proud of. More than 100 schools posted Reels touting #WhatsExcellent about their schools for a shot at a $50,000 grant to up their digital marketing game, and we had the daunting task of narrowing that down to seven recipients. Congratulations to the winners, and we can't wait to see how you continue to share your story!

But without a central database, it's tough to gauge the value of many of these credentials. Lumina's Christopher M. Mullin writes in Higher Education Digest® that we can create clarity by organizing credentials into three buckets: 1. Degrees and certificates that show depth and duration. 2. Short-term learning and training. 3. Renewable skills. Read more about his research in the world of credential chaos:

Higher education in this country is facing a crisis of confidence, and restoring trust will take significant work: We must align education with job market demands, address affordability, and increase transparency.
