"Showing up for class and taking notes is only half a loaf of [the college] experience," says Patrick Burkhart, provost of Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona.

Burkhart is quoted in an article about how to make this year a successful school year.

"It's about that time. New college students are getting ready to pack up and head to the dorm. Or they may be returning to school after a long hiatus, juggling the demands of working and family while getting prepared to log into their first online class of fall 2015."
