PanelPicker voting has begun for SXSW Edu 2022: Cast your vote for Maryville
SXSW EDU 2022 is one of the most influential conferences for educational thought leadership and innovation. Maryville University President Dr. Mark Lombardi is in the running to host a panel at this prestigious event. Now you can help decide if he gets the opportunity.
PanelPicker voting for SXSW 2022 is underway, and we need your help. We’re excited to have Dr. Lombardi lead our panel discussion, and your vote can help him shine a spotlight on the future of personalized learning.
In his discussion, titled “Is College Worth It? A University President’s Take on How to Close the Student Dissatisfaction Gap,” Dr. Lombardi will address ways to reshape the traditional higher education system as we navigate modern challenges like the coronavirus pandemic.
Using technology, Dr. Lombardi believes we can take a future-focused approach that empowers students to learn where and how they prefer to learn. By taking more cues from industry startups and tech companies than from the Ivy League and academia, Dr. Lombardi also shows how we can streamline the administrative process using tech like AI and blockchain. This “New University” model can help create a stronger student community that redefines the return on investment for higher education.
