It's YOUR time to #EdUp with Kristine Goodwin, Strategic Project Manager for the President, North Shore Community College

In this episode, part of our Academic Integrity Series, sponsored by ⁠Integrity4Education

YOUR host is ⁠Elvin Freytes⁠

• How does a Hispanic serving institution with majority first generation students navigate AI by choosing not to fight the tidal wave but instead figuring out where to duck under, where to ride the wave & what to rebuild for an agile future?
• Why does 1 strategic project manager who's supervised almost every area of a college from academic affairs through risk management say the real academic integrity issue isn't policing AI but the mismatch between faculty expectations & what students actually understand?
• How can higher ed shift from treating evaluations as judgments to seeing them as messages & why does comparing assessment strategy to middle school binder checks reveal everything wrong with how we measure student learning?

It's YOUR time to #EdUp with Dr. David Hatami, Managing Director & Chief Policy Officer, EduPolicy.ai

In this episode, sponsored by the ⁠⁠⁠ELIVE 2026 Conference in Denver, Colorado, April 19-22, & the 2026 InsightsEDU Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, February 17-19,

YOUR cohost is Dr. Michael Horowitz, Chancellor & Founder, The Community Solution Education System

YOUR host is ⁠Elvin Freytes⁠

• How does EduPolicy.ai translate complex AI regulations into actionable guidance for higher education & why must AI policy leadership come from the top to create institution wide buy in?
• How should institutions implement umbrella AI policies with department specific sub policies since admissions, financial aid, academics & registrar all use technology differently with unique data needs?
• How does AI policy become a living document that stays active in institutional ecosystems rather than collecting dust & what happens when only half of users enforce policy like a city where only half the police enforce laws?

YOUR host is ⁠⁠Dr. Joe Sallustio

• How does Pennsylvania's only rural regional college serve 10 counties without a single campus based facility & why is this model critical for eliminating education deserts across northern Pennsylvania?
• What happens when a public institution founded in 2017 operates independently from community college standards & how does this freedom enable innovation that traditional systems cannot replicate?

• 
  

Extended Conversation for EdUp Premium Members:

• What makes Workforce Pell simultaneously promising for equity & access yet nearly impossible to implement when federal restrictions clash with institutional business models & existing workforce training systems?
• What does the future demand when high school graduates are declining enrollment across 2 year & 4 year institutions & how must higher ed collectively rethink the value proposition to remain competitive in a global environment?

In this episode, part of our Academic Integrity Series, sponsored by ⁠Integrity4Education

YOUR cohost is Thomas Fetsch, CEO, Integrity4Education

YOUR host is ⁠Elvin Freytes⁠

• How is CopyLeaks (named #153 on Inc. 5000 in 2025) bringing enterprise grade AI technology used by Bloomberg, Forbes, BBC & 450 plus companies to over 500 educational institutions & why are 10 to 15 universities switching to them monthly?
• How does Copyleaks' AI technology achieve 99.8% accuracy by analyzing word clusters like "attuned to these fluctuations" (used 102,000 times by AI vs 14 times by humans in 1 million papers) & patterns of usage rather than just flagging individual submissions?
• How does the AI source match database work to show professors side by side comparisons of student work against already published AI generated content & why does Shouvik say you need the human in the loop to make final academic integrity decisions?

In this episode, part of our Academic Integrity Series, sponsored by ⁠Integrity4Education

YOUR cohost is Thomas Fetsch, CEO, Integrity4Education

YOUR host is ⁠Elvin Freytes⁠

• How does Cedar Crest College treat AI as a design issue rather than a policing problem by building academic integrity into assignments & helping students understand ethical boundaries instead of just catching cheaters?
• How is Cedar Crest's math department using a custom LLM called Alchemy to teach students at their learning level instead of jumping straight to answers like popular AI models do & what does this mean for equity across student populations?
• How does a provost who's been at 1 institution for 23 years keep his fire burning by building programs from writing centers to MFA degrees to AI ready initiatives & what does he see as the future relevance question for higher education?

YOUR host is ⁠⁠Dr. Joe Sallustio

• How does a community college president lead the 9th most diverse institution in the nation while challenging traditional higher ed metrics that fail to capture the full spectrum of student success stories?

• What does it mean to serve the "top 100%" of your population & why are 17,000 students across every demographic turning to one Sacramento institution for everything from dual enrollment through workforce upskilling?

• How can community colleges redefine accountability when traditional first time full time freshman statistics are engineered to undercount transfer students, adult learners & the non credit population creating massive economic impact?
