University of Nevada, Reno President Brian Sandoval speaks with Director of Dual Credit Initiatives Joe Nannini. Nannini provides leadership and support to all stakeholders connected to the University's dual-credit efforts, including the University of Nevada, Reno Collegiate Academy.
Nannini is a proud University alumnus. His experience in K-12 education as a teacher and a school administrator, combined with his work teaching and leading clinical experiences for the College of Education and Human Development, gives him a unique perspective on both the K-12 and higher education sides of the dual-credit equation.
During the episode, Sandoval and Nannini discuss how high school students in Nevada can take college-level classes through the Collegiate Academy program. They also explore the rigor of the courses, the support high school teachers receive from the University while teaching and the ways in which the program helps to improve the college-going rate in Nevada.
