Episode 21: The Future of Education Starts Now—A Call to Action for Faculty, Leaders, and Institutions
Mental health is at crisis levels. Students are overwhelmed, disconnected, and drowning in the noise of tech addiction, trauma, and social pressure—while academic systems remain largely unchanged. In this urgent follow-up to Episode 20, Professor Jeff Hastings speaks directly to educators, administrators, and institutional leaders about what must change—and what’s possible if we rise to meet this moment.
From rethinking outdated curriculum models to embracing generative AI as a bridge—not a threat—this episode offers real, creative solutions to make learning more human, more flexible, and more transformational. If we want to prepare students for life after college, we must act now—with boldness, compassion, and the willingness to break the mold.
Whether you're in the classroom, a dean’s office, or a leadership team meeting, this is your call to lead.
Because if we don’t evolve, we fail the very people we’re here to serve.
