Whether you are new to the profession of education or just new to my website, this page will provide research, community building, career, and credential resources for education today. In an effort to provide a centralized forum for postsecondary students, university presidents, corporate executives and everyone in-between to provoke innovation and change.

 

Post-Secondary students are demanding more from their institutions. In order to meet their needs, schools are starting to think more like architects of learning. Further consideration of what programs students want and how students want to communicate it is essential to rethink ways to engage with students, families, and communities.
