We are connecting with alumni, donors, parents and prospective students in cities across the United States in an ambitious program that explores the questions 鈥淲hat will 精品SM在线影片 look like 5, 10 or 20 years from now? What will our students, research and discoveries look like?鈥

How are you answering those questions?

Through TED-style talks and breakout sessions. We are joined by some of the university鈥檚 most innovative and creative faculty and students to showcase the people, research and advancements propelling us as we develop tomorrow鈥檚 leaders, become a leading innovation university and impact humanity in unprecedented ways.

What can people expect to learn?

Faculty are demonstrating how engineering can solve modern medical challenges, the future health and human safety benefits of satellite imaging and how art helps explain the world around us 鈥 to name just a few. This spirit of innovation clearly filters to our students, and we hear from them on how they are already impacting humanity! It鈥檚 inspiring.

What will your future students look like?

They are showing us they want to be adaptable and flexible, prepared as 360-degree employees, citizens and leaders. They want to spread their wings and see how far they can fly. That鈥檚 why we have minors and certificates in business, leadership, entrepreneurship, technology, arts and media, and even a space minor open to all students. But what will be the expectations of the next generation of students? At 精品SM在线影片 Next we explore the future of learning and teaching.
