The Most Interesting People in Higher Ed

In this Noodle podcast episode, our guest is Alan Mlynek, Chief of Technology Solutions here at Noodle. As we gear up to physically attend both the 2023 EDUCAUSE and Leadership in Higher Education conferences, our conversation centers on the future of tech in education. We dive into leveraging AI to foster dynamic learning communities and talk about the challenge of engaging ‘degree-completion’ students, highlighting the need for a more tailored and inclusive approach.

In this episode, our guest is Noodle CEO and founder John Katzman. We focus on the upcoming September 27-29, 2023 P3-EDU event in Denver, Colorado, delving into the intersection of technology and education, and discussing the role of data in shaping academic outcomes. We talk about the potential misuse of data in education and the need for data in ushering good careers rather than just credentials. We also explore the future of tech in education and the importance of public-private partnerships.

On this episode we welcome Natasha Warikoo, the Lenore Stern Professor in the Social Sciences, Department of Sociology, Tufts University to the podcast.

On this episode we welcome Dr. Brad Cox, a professor at Florida State University and the Founder and Executive Director of the College Autism Network (CAN).

For this episode we welcomed UC-Irvine’s Associate Chancellor for Sustainability, Wendell Brase to the show.

We are pleased to have another member of the Noodle Advisory Board, the Dean of the School of Education and a Distinguished Professor at American University, Dr. Cheryl Holcomb-McCoy, on the podcast.

This week’s guest is the current Dean of Yale Nursing and the upcoming President of the New York Academy of Medicine, Ann Kurth.

This episode features the 10th President of Illinois Tech, Raj Echambadi. Lee and Raj have a wide ranging discussion, touching on everything from the paradox between low acceptance rates and claims of inclusivity, to how to balance educating more people with maintaining high rankings.

Lee is joined by the Dean of Syracuse University College of Law, Craig Boise. Craig is quite possibly the most interesting person in the world, not just higher education.
