40% of California's licensed doctoral psychologists come from one university that nearly failed a decade ago. Their turnaround didn't come from diversifying programs or chasing enrollment—it came from making the hardest decision in higher ed: cutting what wasn't excellent. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Andy Vaughn, President and CEO of Alliant International University, about how institutional leaders can drive university transformation by making tough calls, realigning programs, and embedding scalable mental health support into their core operations. Drawing from Alliant's strategic shift, Vaughn explains why program focus and transparent leadership are more effective than traditional diversification models. He shares how embedding mental health services into academic programs created both a market advantage and a support system for students, faculty, and staff. Topics Covered: Why eliminating underperforming programs can drive institutional transformation How program realignment strengthens financial stability and market positioning Embedding scalable mental health services into academic programs and operations The leadership imperative: transparency, inclusion, and decisive action Codifying organizational values to guide behavior and decision-making Managing faculty-administration relations with professionalism and respect Preparing for unprecedented policy and legislative changes impacting higher ed Real-World Examples Discussed: Alliant International University's strategic focus on licensure-driven programs The integration of Alliant Clinics, providing community mental health services Leadership communication practices to maintain trust during operational changes Partnering with psychology schools for scalable mental health service delivery Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Codify and normalize institutional values so that decision-making and behaviors align across all levels. Be transparent with stakeholders about challenges and solutions, fostering trust and shared ownership of outcomes. Involve the entire institution—including part-time staff—in transformation efforts to ensure unified execution during critical periods. This episode offers a practical framework for institutional leaders navigating transformation, operational challenges, and the rising demand for campus-wide mental health support.

Nordex USA celebrated the reopening of its wind turbine plant in West Branch, Iowa on Tuesday. The plant now employs more than one hundred workers. They're producing the company's first U.S.-made turbines. Manav Sharma is Nordex's North American C.E.O. He says the company is committed to Iowa for the long term. The plant had been closed since twenty thirteen. Nordex bought the facility in twenty sixteen and spent months retrofitting it. The plant will produce parts for five-megawatt turbines. Production capacity is planned to exceed two point five gigawatts annually. The reopening comes despite federal debates about renewable energy tax credits. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds noted that sixty six percent of Iowa's power comes from renewable energy. That's the highest percentage in the US. Alliant Energy also has big plans for wind power in Iowa. The company filed a plan with the Iowa Utilities Commission to add up to one gigwatt of wind generation. Mayuri Farlinger is president of Alliant's Iowa energy company. She says expanding wind energy will help them deliver reliable and cost-effective power to customers. Alliant plans to own and operate the new wind projects. The company expects the projects to create construction jobs and provide payments to landowners. They'll also generate new tax revenue for counties where the turbines are built. The Iowa Utilities Commission is expected to make a decision in the first quarter of twenty twenty six. Norway is testing the one of world's biggest wind turbine. Norwegian regulator N.V.E. approved GE Vernova subsidiary Georgine Wind plans for an eighteen-megawatt turbine in the municipality of Gulen. NVE says this is the largest wind turbine ever approved in Norway. It's also the first to be licensed inside an existing industrial area. The turbine will have a rotor diameter of up to two hundred fifty meters. The maximum tip height will be two hundred seventy five meters. The turbine will undergo testing for five years before switching to standard commercial operation for another twenty five years. The United Kingdom has approved its largest Irish Sea wind farm. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband granted planning consent for the Mona offshore wind farm. The project is owned by B.P. and EnBW. It will feature ninety six turbines off northwest England. The one point five gigawatt project could power more than one million homes with clean energy. It's expected to begin production between twenty twenty eight and twenty twenty nine. Miliband says this shows the government is backing builders, not blockers. B.P. and EnBW are also waiting for approval of a neighboring wind farm called Morgan. That decision is due by September tenth. The developers have been paying option fees of one hundred fifty four thousand pounds per megawatt per year since January twenty twenty three. Richard Sandford is B.P.'s Vice President of Offshore Wind. He says this approval brings them closer to delivering large-scale, low-carbon energy critical to the U.K.'s net zero goals. That's this week's top news story. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

Dans le cadre de ‘The Reality Check Edition 2025', une campagne percutante intitulée « Women are not toys » a été lancée en collaboration avec The Introverts Agency. En détournant une tendance populaire grâce à l'intelligence artificielle, cette initiative donne une voix à celles que l'on n'entend pas, soit les femmes victimes de violences, souvent réduites au silence. La campagne rend également hommage au travail essentiel du Passerelle Women Centre, qui accompagne chaque jour les victimes. Mélanie Valère Ciceron, présidente et fondatrice de Passerelle souligne que la lutte contre les violences ne doit pas se limiter à la Journée internationale des droits des femmes. Elle affirme que la sensibilisation se doit de se poursuivre via les réseaux sociaux, devenus de véritables leviers pour promouvoir des causes sociales.

Right now, there's not much growing in Iowa. But Nick Peterson, strategic partnerships manager for Alliant Energy, is already thinking about next summer's yields. He's spearheading a collaboration with Iowa State University, an Alliant customer, to evaluate a practice called agrivoltaics, which marries farming with solar energy generation.Across ten acres, the utility installed a 1.35 megawatt solar installation, using both fixed arrays and tracker panels. Along with a team from Iowa State University's agriculture and engineering schools, Alliant Energy is looking at the potential for growing high-value crops under the panels. One year into the four-year project supported by a $1.8 million Department of Energy grant,  early food and power generation results are promising.This week on With Great Power, Nick tells Brad what scientists are learning from the project, why it could change how utilities think about agrivoltaics, and why one of the hardest parts of his job is addressing the fears some farmers have about the practice.With Great Power is a co-production of GridX and Latitude Studios.  Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get podcasts.

Alliant mysticisme et justice sociale, il a réussi à embrigader de nombreux fidèles dans sa secte, le Temple du Peuple.
