Northeastern takes learning to a deeper level. In every program—from certificate to doctorate degree—students turn their ideas into action. https://lnkd.in/e7YeEajS

Due to a lack of timely innovation in program offerings and advisory support, over 60% of colleges experienced a decline in enrollments and student retention.- https://lnkd.in/ezvn-wxZ In our latest case study, we increased student engagement in academic and career planning by 30%, student satisfaction by 2X, and graduation confidence by 10-20%. - https://lnkd.in/gCY3kNFN #highereducation #careerservices #empoweringadvisors #delightingstudents #ResponsibleAI #casestudy #studentsuccess #marketresearch #collegeenrollments #transformation

A dear friend asked me , How do Organizations preserve culture, history and legacy and yet keep up with time ? I said let us look at what big institutes do globally - LEARN BY EXAMPLE How Harvard Preserves Tradition While Shaping the Future: A Legacy of Excellence    Harvard University is more than just an educational institution—it’s a symbol of academic excellence, innovation, and tradition that has withstood the test of time. So, how has Harvard managed to preserve its rich history while staying at the forefront of modern education?      1.   Commitment to Excellence  At the core of Harvard’s success is its unwavering commitment to academic rigor. By attracting world-class faculty and researchers, the university continually pushes the boundaries of knowledge. Harvard’s interdisciplinary approach ensures its relevance in fields ranging from AI to climate change.      2.   Balancing Tradition with Innovation  Despite being nearly 400 years old, Harvard has adeptly adapted to modern times. From embracing online learning through platforms like HarvardX to fostering global partnerships, the university strikes a balance between preserving iconic traditions and embracing forward-thinking educational models. It continues to innovate while holding on to longstanding practices, such as Latin Commencement addresses, creating a sense of timelessness.      3.   A Diverse, Global Impact  Harvard’s highly selective admissions process ensures a student body rich in diversity, drawing future leaders from every corner of the globe. Its massive endowment—over $50 billion—ensures access to top-tier resources, cutting-edge research facilities, and financial aid programs that allow for a more inclusive student body.      4.   An Unmatched Alumni Network  Harvard’s alumni are a powerful testament to its global reach. From U.S. presidents to Nobel laureates, its graduates have impacted every sector, contributing to the university’s ongoing legacy of leadership and influence.   By blending tradition with cutting-edge innovation, Harvard has built a legacy that continues to inspire the world. As both a guardian of history and a pioneer of new ideas, Harvard sets the standard for what it means to be an enduring institution of higher learning.   #Celebrating50Years #EngineeringExcellance #CoreValues

🌟 Wrapping Up an Incredible First Year at Boston University 🌟 I’m thrilled to share that I've successfully completed my first year at Boston University, and what a journey it has been! This second semester was particularly enlightening, with several standout experiences that shaped my academic and personal growth. 🔬 Systems Physiology: This class opened my eyes to the intricate details of physiological phenomena at both cellular and organismal levels. Understanding renal and cardiovascular problems has never been more fascinating! 💼 Business, Ethics, and the Creation of Value: Guided by the incredible Professor Weber I delved into prominent case studies, including the Coca-Cola and Pepsi reformation in India. This class honed my skills in problem-solving, accounting, and marketing, allowing me to voice my opinions confidently. ✍️ Writing Class: I wrote a research paper on the mental health of Asian international students at US universities, which was well-received by my classmates. This project was deeply rewarding, giving me a platform to explore important issues. 📈 Macroeconomics: A class that decoded the vast repercussions of monetary and fiscal policy on industries, households, and global trade. The insights gained here were invaluable and eye-opening. 🌸 Spring in Boston was the perfect backdrop to this semester’s achievements, and I'm honored to be on the Dean's List once again! Thank you to all my professors, classmates, and friends for making this year unforgettable. Here’s to more learning and growth ahead! #BostonUniversity #StudentLife #DeansList

Congratulations to current Ph.D. student Melanie Buchleiter, MBA for being awarded the Institute for Social Innovation scholarship! Her dissertation focuses on "Utilizing Indigenous Worldviews to Re-define, Measure, and Carryout Business Success." Melanie's study aims to establish theory on how to utilize Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and organizing in alignment with strengths-based leadership to create a broader, more complex definition of business success. It seeks to answer questions such as: How do Indigenous people experience working in non-Indigenous-owned American businesses? This research places Indigenous people at the center and periphery of managing and organizing the ongoing life and function of organizations, considering what workplaces and communities might look like when their organizing principles are based on Indigenous knowledge and practices. "As I am completing my last semesters here at Fielding, I am finding more and more struggles in obtaining financial assistance, which is my single largest barrier to completing my studies," she said. "This scholarship helps me get closer to seeing a way to complete my Ph.D. within the next two semesters (Spring and Summer 2024). Your help is allowing me to spend less time identifying ways to cover the expense so that I have more time (and mental resources) to focus on the research study and the long-term impact that it can have on Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals, businesses, and communities. Thank you for believing in the possibilities that my research may create for others."

In today's data-driven world, global university rankings have taken center stage, often at the cost of a university's core mission—educating and mentoring the next generation of leaders. This trend places disproportionate emphasis on research output, sidelining crucial elements like teaching quality, student mentorship, and the broader societal impact of higher education. It’s time to shift focus from rankings to creating academic environments that prioritize critical thinking, creativity, and holistic student development over numbers. #HigherEducation #UniversityRankings #StudentSuccess #TeachingExcellence #EducationReform

Countdown -- Just four weeks until Linda Battles, Joe Sallustio, EdD, Philomena Mantella, and I take the stage at #SXSWEDU to talk about the future of #HigherEducation. Will you be there in Austin? Please join us! Our session is entitled "Navigating a New Era in Higher Ed: Facts About the Future" and is made possible by the incredible people at Western Governors University. Here's what to expect from our panel discussion (which will be followed by a networking reception): The biggest mistake we can make in higher education is continually choosing to operate for the era in which we were founded instead of the age in which we currently exist. The skills we need, the ways we collaborate, and the jobs available to graduates are changing. So must we. Learn from higher-ed acclaimed authors and dynamic leaders about embracing a “mindset reset” about the purpose and possibility of modern postsecondary education, putting students at the center of everything we do. Then dig deep into startling new data about navigating this promising new era with eyes wide open. https://lnkd.in/gfSspRxH

Stanford, MIT, and Harvard Top the List for Unicorn Founders – and the U.S News College Rankings   When it comes to producing unicorn founders, a few prestigious universities consistently lead the pack. Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Harvard University are at the forefront, boasting the highest number of unicorn founders who received their bachelor’s degrees there.    Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 universities by the number of unicorn founders:    Stanford: 122 founders  MIT: 87   Harvard: 73  Berkley: 60  Cornell and Yale: 45  Princeton: 30  UCLA: 25  Duke: 24  Penn, Brown, & Columbia: 23 Interestingly, our ranking correlates moderately (0.48) with the recently published U.S. News & World Report 2025 ranking of the top colleges. Notable exceptions include the University of California, Berkeley (4th in our ranking, 17th in U.S. News) and Cornell University (5th in our ranking, 11th in U.S. News), both of which punch above their weight in terms of unicorn founders. Princeton University is also an outlier: it achieved the first place in the U.S. News ranking (congratulations!) and came in 7th in the unicorn ranking.    Is your alma mater on the list?

📢 Case Study Launch: After conducting extensive research across more than 50 U.S. colleges, involving stakeholders ranging from students, career service professionals, and academic leadership, we are thrilled to share how we are assisting universities in evolving their program offerings and meeting students where they are at with Advisor.AI! 📢 But first, did you know? 🔴 The national college student dropout rate is 33%, and in most state schools, this rate is almost 45-50%. 🔴 The average student-to-advisor ratio across universities is 408 to 1, and in some cases, it is as high as 2000:1 Is there a solution to this rapidly growing trend, where not only are student dropout rates increasing, but the result is that over 100+ college programs have closed in recent years? How can institutions and academic leaders adapt curriculum offerings in time? How can technology help improve student success outcomes, advisory support, and college economics? 📗 Learn more about critical industry trends and our findings here - https://lnkd.in/gnuesYG9 Thank you to an amazing team of experts for their time and contributions to this project over the last year Kelly Deily Brian Backus Umang Shukla Em Radkowski Rushi Amin James Van, M.
