Cengage

This week, we joined hundreds of career education professionals in Cleveland, Ohio for the 2026 Career and Education Convention, hosted by Career Education Colleges and Universities.

Over three incredible days, our team shared innovative ideas, deepened connections, and exchanged practical strategies with attendees — all with a focus on strengthening student success and career-centered learning.

A few highlights:

✨At the Cengage booth, we hosted a meet-and-greet with keynote event speaker, designer, carpenter, author, and Emmy Award–winning television personality Ty Pennington. A passionate workforce development advocate, Ty uses his platform to champion the value of trade education and hands-on career pathways.

✨We also had meaningful conversations with institutional leaders about our unified learning subscription, Cengage Unlimited, and how it can help support their campus goals and drive measurable student success.

Here's to the shaping the future of higher education. 🎉

Our EVP and GM Nhaim Khoury recently shared an educator story that highlights the power of AI to amplify teaching expertise — not replace it.

Using Instructor Assistant, Courtney Pham, Senior Instructor, College of Business, Missouri State University, gains immediate and actionable insights into student performance. 📊

With up to 70 students in some sections, Courtney used to spend hours poring over gradebooks to identify which learners might need additional support. Now, Instructor Assistant helps her quickly pinpoint which students may benefit from intervention, giving her more opportunities to step in frequently throughout the semester.

As she puts it: “It’s so quick. I’ll just go in and look at the snapshot of how my class is doing.”

📚This spring, Instructor Assistant expanded across 250 of Cengage’s Learning Platform Courses, empowering even more educators to take meaningful action to improve learning outcomes.

Our Executive Vice President and General Manager Nhaim Khoury recently shared a few words of inspiration for today’s graduates that we’d like to pass along:

💭 “…careers are rarely linear, and growth often comes from being willing to adapt, pivot and keep learning.”
💭 “…the best solutions usually come from teams, not individuals working alone.”
💭 “…remember that there is no single path that defines success. Careers evolve, opportunities change and growth often comes from staying open to new directions.”
