As August arrives, we find ourselves on the edge of a new academic year. For many, these final days of summer offer a brief window to relax and reset before Fall classes begin. Whether you're a student savoring late mornings or a faculty member preparing for the semester ahead, I encourage you to enjoy the moment—but also to prepare with purpose.

At FocusQuest, our mission remains focused: to expand access to career-aligned, culturally relevant online education for students at HBCUs and MSIs. This Fall, we’re proud to be partnering with additional HBCUs to deliver new courses and certificate programs—particularly in high-demand fields such as IT, healthcare, and business. These offerings are built not only to equip students with technical skills, but also to affirm identity, culture, and community as central to their success.

We’re equally excited about our collaboration with the first HBCU early-prep high school in New York City. Together, we’re fostering an environment that introduces students to higher education pathways early—encouraging academic growth, leadership, and a vision for the future.

As we look ahead, FocusQuest is committed to being a trusted partner—supporting students, administrators, faculty, and institutions in navigating the evolving educational landscape. Our goal is simple: to help every learner move confidently toward educational success, which we know often leads to greater success in life.

Please continue sharing the FocusQuest mission with colleagues, students, and partners. Your voice strengthens our reach.

How to Master Your Energy: 7 Ways to Identify & Leverage Productivity Peak Patterns in Online Students

Our brains and bodies don’t perform at the same level all day long. Instead, we operate on natural energy cycles, known as circadian rhythms. These patterns influence when we feel alert, focused, and creative—or sluggish and sleepy.

For students, recognizing these shifts is crucial. Whether you’re grinding through math problems or writing essays, your cognitive energy peaks and dips can affect how efficiently you work.
