McGraw Hill Chief Executive Officer Simon Allen was the guest keynote speaker on Tuesday August 13, joined by members from his Learning Technology and Customer Success teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are here today for one reason. That\u2019s to be prepared and ready for our students.

Boakye told faculty members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a focus on the College\u2019s <em>Access to Success<\/em> theme, Dr. Boakye said, \u201cOur world is moving very fast. We have to be updated, we have to know our students, and we have to meet them where they are today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr. Allen concurred with Dr. Boakye\u2019s assessment. He then gave an overview of McGraw Hill and how the company and ECC work together to provide the tools necessary for students as they prepare to enter the workplace. McGraw Hill has partnered with ECC for a number of years, supplying a wide range of both hard copy and digital academic materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dr-Boakye-and-McGraw-Hill-CEO-small-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dr-Boakye-and-McGraw-Hill-CEO-small-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dr-Boakye-and-McGraw-Hill-CEO-small-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dr-Boakye-and-McGraw-Hill-CEO-small-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dr-Boakye-and-McGraw-Hill-CEO-small-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dr-Boakye-and-McGraw-Hill-CEO-small-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dr-Boakye-and-McGraw-Hill-CEO-small.jpg 1538w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McGraw Hill is a leading global education company that partners with millions of educators, learners and professionals around the world.
