Welcome back to America’s leading higher education podcast!  In this episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by EvoLLLution, we welcome Ken Burke, Founder & CEO, entrepreneurNOW!    This episode is fascinating - Ken talks to us about the "compelling event" that is Coronavirus and how that affects all businesses.  More organizations need to think about defining and offering a minimum viable product (MVP) to maximize revenue and gain market share.  Along with that, Ken discusses the necessity of identifying the target audience - figure out what the consumer wants, not what you want to give them.  And he tells us not to succumb to analysis paralysis, especially in higher education.  Ken Burke began to understand that his life’s purpose was to teach entrepreneurs while running the eCommerce business he’d started in 1996, MarketLive. After twenty years of running MarketLive, developing into a widely-published thought leader, keynote speaker, and coach to entrepreneurs, Ken sold the business and turned his attention full-time to helping entrepreneurs to launch, run, and grow their businesses. (Somehow, traveling the world just wasn’t cutting it—though be sure to ask him about historic landmarks in Rome the next time you run into Ken!)  Thanks so much for tuning in.

Welcome back to America’s leading higher education podcast!  In this episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by the Black History and Culture Academy, we welcome Terence Sawtell, Founder, GOAT.   Terence talks with Liz and guest host Ashanti Martin about design and development in higher education.  Website user experience, aka student experience, is critical to move students through an application and enrollment process.  Hear what Terence thinks is critical to ensure that students have an experience that doesn't deter them from attending your school! Terence hails from Prince George, British Columbia and will never shy away from telling you how awesome his hometown is.  He personifies what living in the north is like. He plays Hockey, loves very basic beer and spends much of his spare time working on old cars and "living the dream". Before Goatsocial, Terence spent 6+ years at TELUS honing his craft and learning how to be a leader. He worked up from the call centre to a management role within 2 years, and never looked back.  Goat (formerly Goatsocial) was founded when a poor experience getting quotes for a website led to Terence re-learning how to build websites after many years dormant. He built his first website in 2004.  Thanks so much for tuning in. Join us again next time for another episode!  Contact Us!

Welcome back to America’s leading higher education podcast!  In this episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by Claremont Lincoln University, we welcome Daniel Dyboski Bryant, Co-Founder of Educators in VR.   Daniel comes to The EdUp Experience to talk to us about virtual reality in education.  Simply put, according to Daniel, higher education may not be adopting VR soon enough.  VR can be explored from a number of different angles and have a number of different applications, and the budget to get started does not have to be as significant as one might think!  A school can buy headsets first, use VR via 2D desktops, THEN move to immersive, creative perspectives.  This is a future-thinking episode! Daniel is a life-long educator specializing in virtual and augmented reality, immersive technologies, 360 media, teacher training, communication and languages. He speaks 5 languages. He is a founder of Educators in VR, an open membership-based community of educators, trainers, researchers and startups who meet, share and collaborate in and with VR and AR across multi-user platforms. Here Daniel is also working on a remote VR learning network. His driving aim is to continually explore, test and develop immersive educational resources and methods that democratize education actually deliver improved learning results.

Welcome back to America’s leading higher education podcast!  In this episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by MDT Marketing, we welcome Dr. Mildred Garcia, President, American Association of State Colleges & Universities (AASCU)! Millie is President of an organization with 400 state colleges and regional comprehensive colleges.  These institutions are educating the NEW majority of America.  With high-impact practices, state colleges and universities have the responsibility to train the 21st-century workforce, but first, they must re-engage students that have dropped out due to the pandemic (every institution is focused on this).  Millie goes on to talk about the necessity of having educated students in our democracy - while we close the equity, wealth, and gender gaps by making education accessible to all.  Millie also co-chaired the groundbreaking Postsecondary Value Commission Report released by the Gates Foundation earlier in 2021.  She is a powerhouse - don't miss this. As AASCU's president, Dr. García is an advocate for public higher education at the national level, working to influence federal policy and regulations on behalf of member colleges and universities; serving as a resource to presidents and chancellors as they address state policy and emerging campus issues; developing collaborative partnerships and initiatives that advance public higher education; directing a strategic agenda that focuses on public college and university leadership for the 21st century; and providing professional development opportunities for presidents, chancellors, and their spouses. She is the first Latina to lead one of the six presidentially based higher education associations in Washington, D.C.

At U-Thrive Educational Services, they build mental and emotional wellness programs for college students to develop resilience.  Many college students are unprepared for their new reality, and Simone talks about her own personal journey of challenge and redemption to underpin this conversation.  But wait.  Are today's students softer and more fragile than generations past?  Simone doesn't think so, but she does think that our ability to evolve as a society has made talking about mental health more acceptable.  Simone reveals that they've just released a program for first-gen and limited-income students just launched this June! Simone Figueroa graduated Cum Laude from the University of Florida with a Bachelor's degree in Finance and concentration in Spirituality and Health. At the beginning of her academic journey, Simone struggled with her mental health and emotional well-being. It wasn’t until her Junior year when she fatefully stumbled upon a credit-bearing course in Mindfulness that she went from surviving in college to thriving. The effects of this course were so profound that it ultimately changed the trajectory of her career. Upon graduating, Simone went to work for Canyon Ranch, a premier Health & Wellness Resort in Tucson, AZ where she held various positions ranging from Operations Manager of Health, Healing & Spiritual Wellness to Director of Guest Experience. She then went on to start Conscious Living & Lifestyle, a coaching practice to support individuals in achieving physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

Before coming to St. Francis College, Dr. Martinez-Saenz served as Provost at Otterbein University.

Decatur became the 19th president of Kenyon College on July 1, 2013. Shortly after arriving in Gambier, he led the community in a yearlong conversation to identify the strategic initiatives that would propel the College into its third century. The result is the Kenyon 2020 Plan, which lays out three priorities: continuing to attract a diverse group of academically talented students; preparing students for post-graduation success; and building community on campus, in the region, and among the worldwide Kenyon family. In October 2018, the College announced a $300-million comprehensive campaign to support these priorities, buoyed by a $75-million lead gift, the largest in the College’s history.

In this fantastic episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by Element 451, we talk with Dr. Alyssa Nota, President/CEO, University Studies Abroad Consortium USAC! Apologies for the spotty audio in this episode. According to Alyssa, there is still tremendous demand for studying abroad. Despite covid, study abroad is still possible - USAC prepares students to go abroad and Alyssa and team understand their responsibility to ensure students have a good experience. An important piece of study abroad is to be exposed to something different, but more and more students are asking about diversify, inclusion, and how they could be perceived on their overseas environment. Want to know is U.S. Universities are still desirable for students outside of the country? Listen to this episode to find out! Alyssa Nota, Ph.D., was named President/CEO of University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) in June 2017. She joined USAC in 2000 as the Resident Director (RD) and was tasked with turning around the struggling Torino Program which became one of USAC’s most consistently successful programs.

She transitioned into a Regional RD position where she managed all four Italy programs, including overseeing the study abroad experience of 700+ students annually. She was instrumental in the selection of program sites, curriculum, and host institution arrangements.  Additionally, in 2011, she helped launch the program in Chiang Mai, Thailand, returning in 2013 to hire and train a new RD. To date, it continues to be one of USAC’s most popular study abroad programs.

This is The EdUp Experience President Series Episode #58. In this episode, sponsored by MDT Marketing, we welcome Peter Cohen, President, University of Phoenix!  According to Peter, the future is about microbursts of learning - which will change modalities, time frames, and degree expectations for all.  Because careers will span longer than they used to, career colleges (and all colleges) need to do MORE than offer degree-based education.  Hear Peter talk about how educational curriculum is the same, by and large, across the country, so it's the commitment to student service, infrastructure, and job placement that will separate institutions.  UoP offers "Career Services for Life (TM)" which is their key differentiator.  Career placement is one of the areas that will help regain public trust in higher education!  Peter Cohen is the eighth president of the University of Phoenix. He previously served as executive vice president of McGraw-Hill Education. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Redlands.  Cohen is focused on further accelerating the University-wide transformation in service of its vision to be recognized as the most trusted provider of career-relevant higher education for working adults.

In this fantastic episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by Element 451, we talk with Dr. Bridget Burns, Executive Director of the University Innovation Alliance.  Helping low-income, first-generation, and students of color is not something universities have typically been good at.  The University Alliance is focused on completion - who is completing and who is not.  Higher education was never designed around students; the entire traditional infrastructure of colleges and universities was designed around faculty, which were the intellectual capital of the institution.  UIA works to deconstruct and rebuild the operations around students and innovation to accomplish the goals of helping society - by helping the low-income, first-gen, and students of color.  The pandemic has, however, hit students and faculty hard.  It's time to innovate further, according to Bridget. For the past decade, Dr. Bridget Burns has advised university presidents, system chancellors, and state and federal policy leaders on strategies to expand access to higher education, address costs, and promote completion for students of all backgrounds. Named one of the “16 Most Innovative People in Higher Education” by Washington Monthly, she is the founding Executive Director of the University Innovation Alliance (UIA). The UIA is the groundbreaking national consortium of public research universities igniting a movement through their collaborative work (innovate together, scaling “what works”, & broadly diffusing what they learn) to close their achievement gaps and improve outcomes for all students. The UIA was developed during Dr. Burns's tenure as an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellowship at Arizona State University.

In this EdUp Embedded episode of The EdUp Experience, Dr. James Toscano and Dr. Joe Sallustio have a one-on-one conversation about the Tuition Payer Bill of Rights  Championed by Partners for College Affordability and Public Trust, the Tuition Payer Bill of Rights™ is a series of long-overdue consumer protections that, among other fundamental rights, will ensure that consumers either get what they pay for or a refund. Along with the initiative’s coalition partners, Partners believes students should not have to pay the same price for lesser quality instruction or be required to pay for on-campus services they aren’t able – or don’t want – to use. Dr. James Toscano is the president of Partners for College Affordability and Public Trust and is a national leader in the fight to make college more affordable for American students and families. With a career that spans both public policy and higher education, Toscano brings a practitioner’s perspective to bear on both the challenge--and opportunity--of transforming institutions of higher education. During Toscano’s tenure as a vice president at Tidewater Community College, one of the largest in the U.S., the college was the nation’s leader and model for lowering the cost of education for students through the innovative use of open educational resources.

Our guest for this Bonus EdUp Embedded episode of The EdUp Experience is Eaton Donald, Director of Strategy for Readably. His organization champions innovative ways to supplement teaching children reading online with a multi-sensory approach using color, position, order, shape and motion, rather than the traditional methods we're all familiar with using phonics. As a parent, Eaton Donald was discouraged by the statistics showing stagnant reading scores from the US Department of Education and limited reading performance beginning in elementary school. He knew there had to be a better way to teach K-6 students how to read. Eaton explains how this innovative system makes learning how to read more intuitive and why he thinks it can radically change the way we teach our children.  And for those who work in higher education, there are a lot of lessons to be learned here in providing online content that is engaging and gives students the ability to create knowledge. For parents, navigating the ups and downs of homeschooling in this post-covid environment, he provides some useful tips for how to make the online learning process more productive, keeping kids coming back for more and setting them up to be lifelong learners!  Thanks so much for tuning in.
