• How does a 256 year old public university grow from 11,000 to 32,000 applicants, launch doctoral programs, & achieve record enrollment by focusing on undergraduate education & student success in a city where Boeing, Volvo & the hospitality industry create the perfect real world lab?
• What happens when you spend an entire academic year developing a strategic plan with campus wide buy in, use it like a GPS to stay on course, & find your niche instead of trying to be everything to everyone?
• How does an AI integrated campus become the first in the country to close an AI developed donation, train faculty to incorporate AI into curriculum, & prepare students for future workforce needs through intentional AI as its 10 year Quality Enhancement Program?
