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

Year one down! Thrilled to have successfully completed my first year in the University of the Virgin Islands' PhD program in Creative Leadership for Innovation & Change (CLIC). It took me about 20 years to find the right program for me. I thought other programs were the perfect fit, but thankfully, those pursuits did not pan out. The CLIC program is a page from my diary. I thought creativity was reserved for people in the arts because while in K-12, creativity was suppressed, then in corporate America, creativity was reserved for certain roles (more suppression). While in the program, my eyes opened that despite the suppression, I have been creating since I was in elementary school until today. This journey has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The program's rigor has pushed me to expand my thinking, question assumptions, and develop the skills needed to drive meaningful change. It was liberating in my first year to learn so much about myself, creativity, and creative leadership. I'm also excited about the unique opportunity to earn a Micro-credential in Applied Creative Thinking and Problem Solving from Buffalo State University alongside my PhD. This will provide additional tools to tackle complex challenges with innovative solutions. Pursuing a PhD is not just about the degree. It is about the transformative process of becoming a scholar, researcher, and thought leader. I am committed to using my education to make a positive impact in the world.

How's this for leadership?! Like nearly every other school in America, Dartmouth College is struggling with the breakdown of civil discourse and free expression. Students tend to self-censor or shout down views they don’t like. “I don’t want safe spaces, I want brave spaces,” says Dartmouth President Sian Beilock in a phone interview. At the start of the winter term in January, the Hanover, N.H., college launched the Dartmouth Dialogues program. Ms. Beilock says the program aims to convince students and professors that being challenged is crucial to education. “The idea is to be around the brightest minds and to be pushed and to be a little uncomfortable,” she says. “Even if you’re not going to change your mind, the ability to hone your arguments and to think differently from different perspectives, these are skills and tools of higher education.” The Dartmouth Dialogues program will begin in the classroom. Faculty are already being trained on how to guide debate—particularly when a topic is likely to become charged. Ms. Beilock’s hope is that students will learn to disagree respectfully and take that skill with them when they leave the classroom. Starting in the fall, new students will be given similar training. These types of training sessions sometimes elicit eye-rolls from students, but by consistently reminding students that disagreement is OK, Ms. Beilock believes that the college can “create the environment to get this right.” At a recent panel, a student opened by reminding the crowd that the Dartmouth community has “a responsibility to hold these conversations” and to “expect and encourage respectful disagreement.” Passions still run hot, and a single incident could set the campus against itself. But Dartmouth so far has avoided the negative attention showered on some of its Ivy League peers. Ms. Beilock’s commitment to civil dialogue and free speech deserves credit.

I would like to start doing a series of regular book recommendations. So, I can think of no better way to start that by recommending "The New Education" by Cathy Davidson. Davidson addresses so many issues within college/university education that she highlights in my opinion every major facet of higher learning. She addresses the origins and intended purposes of higher learning. As well, she tackles concepts like why college costs so much and what could possibly be done for it. The topic I liked the most though, was a dual approach where she addresses technology's role in post-secondary education. She addresses both loving tech too much, and not enough. Long story short, please consider checking out Cathy Davidson's magnificent work on the topic of the future (as well as the past and present) of higher ed. This book means quite a bit to me given my own love of education. I believe that the future will be paved from our university halls, and preserving those institutions is the first step in ensuring a future for all humanity. Is that hyperbole? No, I don't really think so. Every leader who emerges in future generations will have come to be educated through some form of post-secondary institution, whether that be a four-year university, or a trade school.

In higher education, we often focus on how existing technologies can disrupt traditional teaching methods. Yet, we tend to overlook the critical need for nurturing the systems and structures that support innovative concepts and initiatives within the industry itself. “You can't implement structural change without the resources to imagine change happening in practice. And you can't change practice without starting to think about the structures.” - Dr. Edward Maloney, Executive Director of the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship, Georgetown University Learn more about how academic innovations—and the campus structures that support them—are shaping the future of higher education 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMpXqiRu #InnovationInEducation #HigherEd #AcademicLeadership
