Podcasts about Higher education

We end this season where we started — a conversation about higher education and democracy. This time, Michael Berkman, McCourtney Institute for Democracy director and professor of political science at Penn State, sits down with Brad Vivian, professor of communication arts and sciences at Penn State and author of Campus Misinformation: The Real Threat to Free Speech in American Higher Education. Berkman and Vivian discuss the Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education, a proposal issued to several universities by the Trump administration earlier this fall. The compact offers benefits like increased access to federal grants and contracts and priority handling of student visas in exchange for changes in admission practices, a commitment to institutional neutrality, and other demands. Vivan outlines how the compact goes against many of the core values in higher education and what make universities an essential part of American democracy. Beyond the compact, Berkman and Vivian also talk about how education might be a contributing factor in America's growing political divide and how university faculty and leadership should think about this divide.This is our final episode of the year. We will be back with new episodes in January. From our entire team, happy holidays and we'll see you in 2026!Mentioned in this episode:Why I'm Excited About the White House's Proposal for a Higher Ed Compact - Danielle AllenPolarized by Degrees: How the Diploma Divide and the Culture War Transformed American Politics - Matt Grossmann and David A.

Welcome back to Bear With Me, a new interviews show on politics from the Brown Daily Herald newsroom. I'm your host, Evan Tao.Elite universities like Brown have been one of the main targets of the Trump administration's efforts to reshape American civil society. Brown is no exception. In September, the federal government proposed a compact with Brown and eight other schools which it deemed “good actors.” In response, some students formed an organization called Brown Rise Up, organizing demonstrations involving undergraduates, graduates, alumni and faculty, urging Brown to reject the compact, which it did by October. From up on College Hill, so much of the chaos in the news can feel theoretical and distant. But this is immediate and directly affects our school. How we respond matters. This week, I invited Raya Gupta ‘29 and Levi Kim ‘29, two first-year students and spokespeople for Brown Rise Up, onto the show to discuss what happened and what might come next.Host: Evan TaoEditing: Evan Tao, Anisha KumarBackground music: Eitan Frank

Sheep, Stage Lights, and Scripture: Abigail KingLong before Abigail King set foot on the stage at Cedarville University, she was already dreaming of a life that would combine her greatest loves: animals and theatre. Even as a little girl growing up in sunny Florida, she imagined a future where the joy of performance could meet the companionship of creatures great and small.That dream stayed with her, and when it came time to choose a college, Cedarville was the right place.Abigail stepped onto campus with a dream in her heart, but she had no clear map for how it would unfold. She thought she might pursue a degree in something with animals, but biology didn't quite suit her. It wasn't long before she found her way to the theatre department — a place that embraced her creative spirit and gave her room to grow.Abigail fell in love with theatre, believing it was where God would transform her more than she ever expected.As she recently shared on the Cedarville Stories podcast, Abigail is now living out that childhood dream in the most unexpected and delightful way — as an animal trainer at Sight and Sound Theatres in Branson, Missouri. There, amidst the spectacle of biblical productions, she helps bring stories from Scripture to life by working with the animals that share the stage with actors, lights, and music.“Sometimes our sheep are a little too friendly,” she laughed. “They'll stop in the middle of the show to hang out with David. The audience eats it up, but we're in the back whispering, ‘Go, go, go!'”Abigail also serves in the theatre's after-show ministry, where cast and crew meet guests for prayer and conversation. “It's such a blessing to connect with people after the show,” she said. “We get to be part of something much bigger.”Though she hopes to one day work with service animals and children, Abigail is joyfully rooted where God has her right now. “This is the dream,” she said. “I'm just following where He leads.”With a heart full of gratitude and a barn full of well-trained animals, Abigail King is living proof that when you trust God with your gifts, He'll write a story better than you imagined.https://share.transistor.fm/s/ce76c52ehttps://youtu.be/rN3me_73j6c

Higher education communication is no longer a marketing function. It is a strategic discipline shaped by political pressure, governance risk, and real-time public scrutiny. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with David Maffei, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Americas at Staffbase, about how university presidents and boards must rethink how communication functions inside their institutions under today's crisis-driven conditions. Drawing on more than two decades of enterprise and higher education communications leadership, Maffei explains why internal communication now determines external credibility, why preparedness is the defining variable in crisis response, and how fragmented communication structures quietly undermine institutional trust. The discussion also explores how technology and AI amplify leadership discipline rather than replace it, and why presidential communication can no longer be delegated. This conversation is especially relevant for presidents, boards, and senior leadership teams navigating political pressure, public scrutiny, and rising expectations for transparency, alignment, and trust. Topics Covered Why internal communication now drives external brand credibility How crisis preparedness exposes governance strength or weakness Why internal notification must come before public announcements How political pressure reshapes presidential communication risk Why communication is now a core presidential competency The role of ego management in institutional leadership How siloed communication tools fracture institutional alignment Why unified board and presidential signaling protects credibility How technology and AI magnify leadership discipline Why communication is now embedded inside strategy, not downstream from it Three Takeaways for Higher Ed Leadership Preparedness determines whether crisis strengthens or destabilizes trust. Internal communication discipline now shapes external credibility in real time. Unified signaling between presidents and boards is no longer optional. This episode offers practical, governance-level insight into why communication performance is now inseparable from institutional performance — and how higher education leaders can protect credibility under sustained pressure.

Atlantic Technological University (ATU) and Vodafone Ireland have successfully secured €4.6 million in funding from the EU's Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Digital Fund to develop digital technologies for new online and on campus apprenticeship courses for engineering and construction students. In addition to the CEF funding, both ATU and Vodafone Ireland are investing in the initiative, bringing the total investment in Irish education to €6.25 million. The fund will be used to develop cutting-edge Extended Reality (XR) labs powered by a private 5G standalone network and on-campus edge computing delivered by Vodafone Ireland. Italian technology company FifthIngenium, part of the consortium, will leverage its expertise in designing cutting-edge educational applications to support the development of the XR experience. The project was launched by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless earlier today (Monday). The programme application process was supported by the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport. The initiative will be piloted at ATU Donegal, where students will gain access to immersive virtual and augmented reality environments that replicate physical labs and workshops. This funding will allow students to learn in new and flexible ways, combining classroom teaching with remote and virtual training - making education more accessible, especially for people living in rural areas or those balancing work, study and apprenticeship programmes. Specifically, the new training tools will include: Virtual construction labs where students can practice building using digital models. Immersive learning platforms that simulate real building and construction environments. 3D video streaming to help students learn technical skills through realistic simulations. The initiative is part of a wider €12.3 million European programme called 5G-SHARE, which encourages universities to work together and share knowledge across borders. ATU and Vodafone will collaborate with universities in Romania and the Czech Republic to test new ways of teaching using 5G. The fund was secured with the support of Vodafone's Connected Education programme - a major global Vodafone initiative designed to transform learning experiences through advanced technology and connectivity, creating a more inclusive digital society. Why this matters for Ireland The Government's renewed action plan published in November included a commitment to promote careers in construction including expanding apprenticeships and a 5-year action plan to boost recruitment, improve training opportunities, and build capacity across the construction sector. Welcoming the announcement, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science James Lawless said: "The Government's investment to more than double apprenticeship funding since 2020 reflects our ambition to build a stronger, more sustainable Ireland. To realise this vision, we need skilled talent in construction and engineering. "Innovations and the use of advanced technologies, such as digital learning and connectivity, will accelerate progress and support us in achieving these ambitions across infrastructure, housing, and beyond. By enabling access to high-quality training nationwide, we are ensuring that Ireland is equipped to deliver the projects that will shape our future. We commend ATU, Vodafone Ireland and consortium partners in driving digital innovation in Irish education for the benefit of our students, workforce and our economy." Sheila Kavanagh, Network Director, Vodafone Ireland said, "This fund was secured following a shared vision and strong collaboration between ATU, Vodafone and Government and we're proud to be part of it. This initiative will give us the ability to train people faster and smarter. Access to skills depends on strong digital infrastructure and by leveraging advanced connectivity, remote learning, and the power of 5G, we're ...

Please welcome to the stage President Guskiewicz.Kevin Guskiewicz (00:18):Good morning. Good morning and thank you all for joining us here in the Breslin Center. This is the site of so many Spartan triumphs from epic basketball games to joyful graduation ceremonies, and today is a historic day for Michigan State University. It's one of those moments in the life of a university when the horizon suddenly opens wider. As a proudly public leading global research institution, Michigan State is defined not only by our proud legacy and what we've inherited, but by what we dream and build for our future together as one team. When we launched our $4 billion Uncommon Will Far Better World campaign earlier this year, we did something bold. We said out loud that Michigan State was ready to take on the toughest challenges of our time and that we were going to seek what it takes to do it. Facing tough challenges is what we do.(01:30):We are built for this from preparing students for the careers of the 21st century perhaps for jobs and careers that don't even yet exist today to squaring off against complex problems like cancer and the impact of climate change on global food security. These are the challenges that can only be addressed as a team by committed people willing to step in, roll up their sleeves and work together. Greg and Dawn Williams, in fact were one of the first couples that my wife Amy and I met after having accepted the opportunity to become Michigan State University's 22nd president about two years ago. They welcomed us warmly and we appreciate all that they have done for Michigan State University and for the surrounding communities and for us personally. Thank you. Their personal belief in this campaign in the possibilities for Michigan State University has been unwavering. From day one, they saw a vision, a university that leans forward, that pushes boundaries, that meets students where they are and takes them farther than they thought ever possible. That generates ideas that shift industries strengthens communities and shapes lives, and Dawn and Greg have done more, and we are here today to acknowledge and celebrate their vision and their generosity. Today I am proud to announce Michigan State's largest private financial commitment ever. Greg and Dawn Williams are committing $401 million to Michigan State University.(03:35):This is a gift and an investment that will shape the future of our athletic and academic programs for generations to come. Not only is it the largest in our university history, it is one of the largest to any athletic program in the nation and one of the largest to any university in the nation. It reflects Greg and Dawn's belief in what Michigan State stands for, opportunity grit and a shared responsibility to lift one another. And I'm so excited to share this milestone with them. It's not often that we get to celebrate something of this magnitude, something that will support students, faculty, staff, and students, student athletes for generations to come. This gift impacts many areas at Michigan State University and it sets a great example for other donors and supporters that you can be engaged in so many different ways to support Michigan State University, giving sure, but also by being engaged, whether it's partnering with us to set up internships or speaking to classes or serving as a mentor to those coming up behind you.(04:49):It's all connected. It all makes a difference. The Williams' commitment also represents Spartans' deep rooted spirit of bold innovation. Michigan State was founded as the trailblazing Land Grant College based on the insight that knowledge can change everything, that access matters, that impact matters, that progress should be shared. Greg and Dawn embody that same engaged innovating drive. This partnership feels so natural to us because MSU and the Williams family share a worldview that the future isn't something we wait for. It's something we create and that's something that we've talked about. On many occasions, their investment will propel us forward in ways that will echo across generations. Empowering student athletes who dream of excellence, fueling innovation and entrepreneurship and strengthening the traditions that unite our Spartan community more than a commitment is a vote of confidence in who we are and who we aspire to become. To Greg, to Dawn, and to your family, thank you for choosing to write this next chapter with us.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Giordano sits down with Steve McGuire of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni to expose the catastrophic collapse in academic preparedness across America's education system. Using UC San Diego's alarming new data showing freshmen unable to add single digit numbers, round to the nearest hundred, or subtract fractions, this episode examines how decades of lowered standards, ideological distractions, and exploding education spending have produced a generation unprepared for college or citizenship. Nick and Steve break down why taxpayers spend more than $1.5 trillion a year on education with worse results than ever, why there is no public outrage, and what reforms are urgently needed to restore competence, knowledge, and real accountability.   Episode Highlights UC San Diego's data reveal a nationwide academic collapse and the dangers of lowering standards How more than $1.5 trillion in annual education spending produces catastrophic results with no accountability What ACTA sees behind the scenes and the reforms needed to rescue American education
