In this episode, President Series #456, powered by Ellucian, sponsored by the ELIVE 2026 Conference in Denver, Colorado, April 19-22, the HigherEd PodCon II happening July 16 & 17, & the 2026 AcOps Conference July 29-31 by Coursedog
YOUR host is Dr. Joe Sallustio
- How does a 165 year old top 100 liberal arts college with 2,500 students in the Quad Cities produce 2 Nobel laureates & an NFL MVP while proving ROI isn't about the first job but 40 years of career adaptability?
- Why are employers demanding the exact power skills that liberal arts teach like critical thinking, creativity & adaptability while higher ed debates ditching liberal arts programs?
- What makes liberal arts the perfect preparation when we don't know what jobs will exist in 10 years because students learn how to learn rather than training for 1 specific role?
