James DeVaney: "Whether at a large public university like Michigan or a smaller institution, the principles of the AIF—empowering faculty, fostering collaboration, building resilience, and expanding access—can be widely applied." Recently: The AIF "capabilities and infrastructure are now helping us navigate the rise of AI and other technological advancements. For example, we’ve partnered with faculty to create over 35 open online courses on generative AI in the workplace this year alone. Through AIF-supported projects, we’ve now reached over 20?million enrollments with learners across the globe." The Future: "We’ll grow our portfolio of online and hybrid degree programs to increase access to high-quality education for a diverse, global student body. Leveraging cutting-edge educational technologies will enhance learning experiences for millions worldwide. We also plan to strengthen strategic partnerships with companies and organizations to meet workforce development needs and create avenues for sustainable growth and revenue generation." #AcademicInnovation #AccessToEducation

Today, the Pennsylvania General Assembly’s Performance-Based Funding Council held its first statutorily required on-campus hearing at Penn State’s University Park campus, where they heard testimony from Penn State's Sara Thorndike, Tracy Langkilde, and student Mike Fowler, among others. The hearing was the first in a series of three that will be held on the campuses of PA's state-related universities to establish a new performance-based funding model for Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh, and Temple University.

Take this quick survey to help shape the future of Ohio State Newark.

"To remain competitive, [Pennsylvania's] educational systems must evolve to align more closely with workforce needs, particularly in high-demand fields such as technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture." - CBICC's President and CEO, Gregory A. Scott Yesterday, Greg had the privilege of delivering testimony at the Pennsylvania General Assembly's Performance-Based Funding Council hearing. He highlighted the strong relationship between Penn State University and the surrounding community, as well as the proposed funding model's alignment with goals in Centre County's Economic Development Strategic Plan to create educational pathways for residents and students alike to obtain credentials in high-priority occupations.

A helpful quick read for anyone in the higher ed world!

I frequently get asked “should I get a PhD?” The answer is of course different for everyone. But one thing is for sure - the depth, quality, and rigor of the research *process* at an R1 institution is profound. These days higher ed gets a lot of pushback. What’s the ROI of a degree? Why is this system so exclusive? Isn’t this just another form of economic stratification? The critiques are necessary. But so is higher ed’s rigor. I hope more orgs will take cues from academia and invest deep focus into research. It seems costly up front but results in higher quality outputs from change management to strategy to productivity to innovation. #proudbruin #bruin #highered #socialscience #orgdev #research #orgdevelopment
