For many of us, the word “college” conjures images of old brick buildings, studying on the quad, and lecture halls full of students fervently scribbling notes and engaging in debate. But at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), the entire idea of college—and how we define success there—has been flipped on its head. While four thousand students learn on-site at the school's campus, a whopping 180,000 more study completely online. The school's innovative approach speaks to its own leadership as much as the societal challenges, and opportunities, that we face today. As a result, SNHU has been named, among other accolades, as #12 on Fast Company magazine's “World's Fifty Most Innovative Companies” list. SNHU has succeeded in part because it recognizes that many—if not most—students today face a series of modern obstacles: they work part-time or full-time jobs with erratic schedules, face financial barriers which prevent them from attending more traditional colleges, and often have no realistic path to college straight from high school. In this episode of Deciding Factors, we welcome the President of SNHU, Dr. Paul LeBlanc, for an illuminating and wide-reaching conversation about higher ed in America, and how to make it attainable for everyone. Paul joined SNHU twenty years ago after a seven-year stint as the President of Marlboro College in Vermont. In addition to his work creating and leading toward a new version for the university, he is the author of several best-selling books, including “Broken: How Our Social Systems Are Failing Us and How We Can Fix Them.” Listen along as Paul explains what makes SNHU's approach different from other models of higher ed, how it embraces data to ensure quality in the courses it offers, and how AI's potential impact on the work force could change our expectations around higher education.
April 20, 2023 Everything Co-op continues its coverage of "Humanity@Work&life-Global Diffusion of the Mondragon Cooperative Ecosystem Experience,” with co-editor Christina Clamp, Director of the Center for Co-operatives & Community Economic Development, and contributing author, Terry Lewis, CFO at the Center for Community Based Enterprise.

Terry Lewis is the CFO of the Center for Community-Based Enterprises (C2BE) and Principal of LIA Advisors, LLC, a private consulting firm providing advisory services in community economic development. Formerly, she was Vice President of Cooperative Development for National Cooperative Bank (NCB), where she advised internal NCB teams and NCB customers in multiple lines of business on the structuring and development of cooperative and other community ownership entities. She also served as President and CEO of NCB Community Works, LLC, an affiliated for-profit affordable multi-family housing development organization. In 2011 President Barack Obama appointed Terry to the Board of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S. government's development finance institution, where she served until the agency sunset, to be replaced by the U.S. Development Finance Corporation in 2019. At OPIC, she served as a member of the organization's Audit and Risk Committees.

She was inducted into the Cooperative Hall of Fame in 2008. “Humanity@Work&life - Global Diffusion of the Mondragon Cooperative Ecosystem Experience”, published by Oak Tree Press, frames a collective labor of earned merit, vision and determination by 36 contributors in six countries, three continents, proving how solidarity, innovation, and conviction forge sustaining local and global social economy practice on behalf of the greater common good.

Leadership journey into academic leadership Paul LeBlanc has been President of Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) for going on twenty years. President LeBlanc's journey started as a faculty member as a grad student when personal computers first arrived. He was a composition TA. The full-time faculty didn't want to touch the new computers that were dumped on the school. The TA's were the first ones to use the computers. He discovered technology with its anonymity opened up a level of candor and trust he had not seen before. “I jumped into technology at a time when it was still so new.” He used a programming language as one of his foreign language requirements. After his PhD, he spent three years heading up a technology start-up program. He worked on a grant with Apple. His relationship with Clayton Christianson Clayton Christianson and President LeBlanc met playing basketball in a church gym in Cambridge, Massachusetts, while President LeBlanc was still in graduate school at Boston College. Clay was the head of high-tech ceramics before he went to Harvard and went back to graduate school. They discussed reinventing ceramics and technology. They did a column for higher education on innovation. They were friends for over forty years. “Everyone uses the phrase disruptive innovation but if you go deeper there's actually very practical things one needs to do depending on what kind of innovation you are implementing, and you can sort of game plan it… Clay was very thoughtful about that. One of the greatest teachers I've ever met.” Clay's theories of disruptive innovation in higher education and healthcare are playing out slowly. He predicted “50% of schools will go out of business.” Learning from good vs. bad examples of leadership After watching a president not being willing to admit his mistake cost him his presidency, President LeBlanc said, “I remember saying to myself, when I mess up I am going to get in front of people and say so. I think there are great lessons to be learned by watching people's leadership journeys, and sometimes you learn more when they struggle, and that's been true in my own life.” He gave an example of a contractor who came in and interviewed President LeBlanc's staff and confronted him and his team to be open to other opinions and being courageous to share a different opinion. Best Advice he ever received “Say Yes to the invitation.” He shared an example from his personal life. A Book about leadership he recommends “I keep coming back to novels, to fiction, to understand who we are as human beings. The one I'm reading right now is by George Saunders called A Swim in a Pond in the Rain.” He then shared he has moved from starting meetings with the agenda to starting with relationships by asking, “How are you?” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/innovationalliance/message

During one of the most tumultuous seasons in the life of higher education, Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) cut their campus tuition in half — and claimed that students could still get the same high-quality education and campus experience, at a radically more affordable price. On this week's episode, we talk with Tim Whittum, Associate Vice President of Enrollment Management at SNHU, about the radical ways in which the university is rethinking the modality and flexibility of higher education and what this means for the future of student recruitment. Tim and Zach posit that schools will need to get much more creative and specific about their value offering in order to stay relevant and competitive. The two also riff on ideas around how schools with predominantly online course offerings may get innovative and launch pseudo-campus environments...perhaps something like a “co-learning” space that is somewhat akin to a “co-working” space?You won't want to miss this riveting episode which is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Roadshow series!Learn more about this episode and about our sponsors in our show notes.
At this week's Round Table, Inica, Kenisha, and Madeline spoke with Jeanette Castellanos, Vice President of the Social Impact Collective at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). Jeanette's career has been at the intersection of social justice, education, and innovation. We talked about what social justice means today; what it looks like in a professional context, formally and informally; and how it does and doesn't play out in education today. Jeanette underscored that as long as there's not equity in education, there's unlikely to be equity elsewhere. Having access to high quality education for everyone, regardless of your zip code or economic status, is a linchpin for everything else. We talked about how social justice should be more fully woven into the K-12 curriculum, especially at the middle school level, which is a critical crossroads for civic identity. We talked about the need to disrupt the traditional notion of school THEN employment to instead explore how learning and earning can be more integrated. We all agreed that we have to broaden our conception of education to extend well beyond the classroom--and to include things like this podcast.
