By Scott Greenberg - EvoLLLution. At a minimum, higher education institutions are responsible for providing students with a quality education that adds value to their lives. While value can be measured in different ways, the majority of adult undergraduate students are enrolled for practical reasons, specifically for job preparation and/or career advancement. More...
By Lesley Nichols - EvoLLLution. It’s all about student expectations and what the institution can do to provide an experience that ideally exceeds those expectations. Students don’t necessarily come to us because they want a degree or certificate. They’re looking for a way to pursue their dream. More...
By Nicole Foerschler Horn - EvoLLLution. As a consumer, when you think of an exceptional business, you typically think of a company that excels at one of three value propositions: operational excellence, product leadership or customer intimacy. More...
By Monica Wesley - EvoLLLution. With tuition costs continuing to rise, both cumulative and individual student loan debt becoming unsupportable, and an employment landscape that is rapidly evolving in challenging ways, it is no wonder that colleges and universities are being asked to demonstrate their tangible value.

There has been much in the press recently regarding the need for higher education to provide a return-on-investment (ROI), and it has given me pause to consider how changes in our society have impacted what traditionally has been the result of a postsecondary education investment.

By Wayne Smutz - EvoLLLution. It’s no longer news that higher education is in the midst of dynamic and dramatic change. There’s not a week that goes by that I don’t see a new book addressing the change and the future of higher education. More...
There is a trend afoot, encouraged by the funders of research, to ask PhD students and other academic researchers to design posters explaining their work. The aim, I think, is to provide an accessible means of explaining (often unfinished) academic work.
