I envision a future where we have a world university where students from all over the world come together to learn and collaborate in dynamic online environments.  A future where companies partner with academics to develop a curriculum that teaches both the why and the how.   Projects drive the learning to prepare a world ready and job ready graduate.  Creative and critical thinking skills are put to the test on real world projects where students are being mentored by industry leaders from across the globe.

The reality of it is, we don’t need it to be a university at all.  This kind of effort can exist in a collaborative partnership between academia and the private sector.

Can you imagine it?  Can you see a world that prepares people to solve global problems together rather than in their own silos?  I may be dreamer, but I believe this will be actualized.
