Episode

Description

With the rise of social media, diverse educational and economic backgrounds, and a fresh set of aspirations, Gen-Z is redefining the landscape for colleges and universities. But how are these institutions adapting to meet the needs of this unique generation? And why isn’t new technology alone enough to keep them engaged and enrolled? Today, Andrew is joined by Dr. Gary Daynes, former Interim Dean of Westminster Business School and founder of Back Porch Consulting. Together, they explore what Gen-Z students want from higher education and how institutions can evolve to stay relevant for future generations.
