When It Means Something
“If you challenge the conventional wisdom, you will find ways to do things much better than they are currently done.” ~ Michael Lewis
Making It Click
Students are distracted by life and overwhelmed by increasing uncertainty. They work to navigate within a changing world. Much of what we have known will be forever changed and impacted by the last four months. Education provides the answer if only we can figure out how to make it click.
Thriving in Volatility
Higher education is faced with a choice: thrive in an unpredictable world or crumble into chaos allowing external pressures to drive change. Predictability and stability lead to mediocrity. Higher education has an important window of opportunity disguised as a challenge--to look beyond what was and see what is now possible. Relevance can never be taken for granted but needs to be earned every day.
Ripple Effect
Higher education offers people a foundation to foster thoughts and ideas that can inspire change in the world. So as we look at the issues facing higher education, we need to ask what little pebble did we toss into the water to create the tidal wave we face today.
Disrupting the Environment
The word disruption can cause fear and paralysis. We think that something bad is going to follow. What disruption really does is challenges the status quo. It can create pathways for opportunities.
