Thnx, @FrankBruni, for highlighting the Future Universities Alliance. Our Innovation Sandbox is a chance for universities—new & established—to tackle real challenges together at home & globally. Expressions of interest are due March 6 & a light lift: shorturl.at/Ju1JS .

12 years ago, an astronomer and an ethicist walked into a bar in Chicago. This is what we discovered: despite the long odds, entrepreneurial leaders around the world are offering innovative, high quality educational ventures from which we all can learn. rb.gy/7xdkt0

@iamaniku I love the key passages you've highlighted -- both the audacious vision and the distinctive curricular design @MinervaUni @DukeLearning
ISMAIL@iamaniku

Congratulations to Ben Nelson, founder of @MinervaUni , being featured in the recent publication about leading Global Universities. Minerva University is worthy of the award "Most Innovative University in the World" “You have a nice plan,” Thiel said. “You want to build the best brand in higher education, which fundamentally means that you’re going to have the best students. But in order to attract the best students, you have to have the best brand. You haven’t explained to me how you’re going to crack that chicken and egg problem.” - Penprase, Bryan; Pickus, Noah. "The New Global Universities: Reinventing Education in the 21st Century" @npickus @bpenprase Further References; #a03b6f0c-8dae-47c3-b0f3-e33437973cdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">perplexity.ai/search/Why-is-… minerva.edu/announcements/… universitybusiness.com/president-seri…

How did a child of Berkeley in the 60s end up on a podcast about patriotism? @carpeDiFemme and @thisrunson had a lot of good questions for me – about that story, immigration and, apparently, about the Dallas Cowboys. rb.gy/2i7l3

About right? “What’s great about universities is also what’s problematic about them,” says Pickus. “They have been around for so long and really do stand the test of time, but they often do this by throttling new possibilities.” rb.gy/o9791

This is GREAT news Jennifer Chambers! So much opportunity for synergies and I'm so glad to see that you'll be in a dual leadership role. There may be opportunities for Duke Kunshan University as well! lnkd.in/gHWaV3tw
