Higher education is about to have Its “Back to the Future” moment. | Peter Taylor | TEDxUCLA

There are many paths to take in terms of education after high school. Yet, in the United States​,​ we mainly see one, the 4-year university degree. What are the other paths less seen, and what might it look like if more traveled these less recognized paths? Peter Taylor is the president of ECMC Foundation. In his role, Mr. Taylor has led more than $90 million of investments in initiatives affecting educational outcomes, especially among underserved populations, in the areas of college success and career readiness.
Before joining ECMC Foundation, Mr. Taylor served as executive vice president and chief financial officer for the University of California system. During his time there, he oversaw all aspects of financial management at the 10 campuses and the five academic medical centers. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
