Weekly Wisdom | Future of Higher Education With Paul LeBlanc
Once AI can do so much of what a university used to think only it could teach, what is a university actually for?
Pam Eddinger, longtime president of Bunker Hill Community College, joins Bridget Burns, CEO of the University Innovation Alliance, and Sara Custer, editor in chief of Inside Higher Ed, for this episode of Weekly Wisdom.
Pam describes how the college’s apprenticeship program with Mass General Brigham offers a model for how colleges can build stronger partnerships with organizations to help students persist to graduation while uplifting the communities they serve. She also gives a preview of her book, Beyond the College Walls: Partnerships and the Future of Community College Reform, which will be published on Oct. 27.
This episode is sponsored by the Inside Higher Ed U.S. Universities and Colleges Summit, coming up Oct. 19–20 in New York City.
