Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Nelson Baker, Ph.D. and interim inaugural dean at the College of Lifetime Learning at Georgia Institute for Technology, talks about what it takes to think differently, innovate and adapt in a changing higher education landscape. By his own admission, he does a lot of listening across various constituent groups, and he likes to ask the “what if” questions.  Tune in to learn more about the work Georgia Tech is doing – both as one of the early pioneers for online-at-scale degrees and now a college of lifetime learning. In his own words: “The life span of a college degree no longer equals the life span of work.”
