Our co-founder and CEO Melvin Hines sat on the steps of the classrooms his parents were in taking college classes at night as non-traditional students. Many years later he sat down with The Chronicle of Higher Education's Goldie Blumenstyk to talk about founding Upswing and why we're on a mission to create Real Results for Real Students. #TodaysStudents need and deserve support to succeed in #HigherEducation - listen in! https://lnkd.in/d6iYwdsb #upswing
