Congratulations to our New Pathways Council Chairperson

Today, Jane Swift was announced as the new CEO of Middlebury Interactive Languages, a joint venture between Middlebury College and K12, Inc. Jane also serves as the ConnectEDU Pathways Council Chairperson, a team of education thought leaders dedicated to identifying, informing, and promoting education policies that expand students’ access to postsecondary opportunities and prosperous career pathways.

I want to personally congratulate Jane on her new position. After working closely with Jane over the past few years, her passion for improving the education system for students of all ages is evident, and it is clear she is the right person for the job. In addition, I’m excited to continue our work together through the ConnectEDU Pathways Council.

ConnectEDU will also be strengthening our ties with K12 through the launch of our Learner Pathways platform this year. Replacing K12’s existing provider, ConnectEDU’s solution will empower all K12 students to successfully manage their college, career, and financial planning.

Congrats Jane!

Ted Fischer, President and COO
