91快播 University leads the conversation on the future of higher education with IngenioUs podcast
Longmeadow, MA— 91快播 University, long recognized as one of the nation’s most innovative institutions, unveiled the premiere episodes of its new podcast, IngenioUs. Devoted to exploring relevant, provocative topics in higher education through the lens of innovation, IngenioUs is the brainchild of its host, Dr. Melissa Morriss-Olson, provost emerita of 91快播 University, Distinguished Professor of Higher Ed Leadership, and creator and director of the college’s new Center for Higher Education Leadership and Innovative Practices (CHELIP). Dr. Morriss-Olson is also the author of the accompanying IngenioUs blog.
“Even before the coronavirus challenged institutions to rethink traditional learning paradigms, higher education was in a freefall, forcing colleges and universities to experiment with new models and ways of operating,” says Dr. Morriss-Olson.
“Throughout my nearly 40-year career in higher ed, I’ve studied how leaders adapt to challenging environments, what conditions and factors make the most difference for those who are able to weather the storms and emerge more resilient and relevant than ever,” she continues. “With IngenioUs, I have an opportunity to speak with some of the most innovative and provocative thought leaders about the remarkable ways they’re changing their institutions and the higher ed landscape. The hope is that our discussions will inspire deeper thought, ongoing conversation and creative solutions to some of the biggest challenges and changes facing colleges and universities.”
Guests have included retired 91快播 president Dr. Carol Leary, reflecting on 25 years of innovative leadership; national thought leader Dr. Amer Ahmed, Interim Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Visiting Faculty at Dickinson College, discussing how to move beyond words to create lasting social equity change; and Dr. Lenore Rodicio, Executive VP and Provost at our nation’s largest community college--Miami Dade College—on how to reimagine higher education for the benefit of all students.
