Booker led two specialized sessions aimed at guiding practitioners through the complexities of academic mobility. His presentation, "Transfer Articulation 101," provided a foundational roadmap for professionals to navigate credit evaluation and the formation of articulation partnerships. A second session, "CPL and CBE: Are They Siblings, Cousins, or Maybe Even Frenemies?," deconstructed the nuances between credit for prior learning and competency-based education, challenging attendees to better integrate these pathways across campus environments.
These discussions reflect a broader shift in higher education, where recognizing skills acquired outside traditional classrooms is increasingly viewed as a societal necessity. Booker, a veteran of the University of Phoenix since 2001, has built a career around these academic initiatives, recently earning the 2024 AACRAO Thomas A. Bilger Award for his contributions to the field. His work focuses on aligning technical and non-technical resources to improve student outcomes, a priority that remains central to his leadership within the institution.
