I’m proud to share an op-ed I co-authored with Aaron Olson, Executive Vice President at Aon: “Economic Mobility in the Age of AI: What Colleges Must Do Now.” It will be featured in an upcoming book about a Chronicle of Higher Education festival on “Innovation Amid Uncertainty.” Michelle J. Anderson and Aaron Olson at the Presidential Lecture Series event on September 30. The op-ed focuses on how colleges can prepare students for careers in a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by artificial intelligence. We spotlight Brooklyn College’s pioneering partnership with Aon, a deep collaboration that has enhanced certain academic programs with fresh insights from the work world. This initiative is especially important for first-generation and low-income students on a pathway of economic mobility. Brooklyn College is working to strengthen these kinds of collaborations with employers; integrate AI literacy across the disciplines; and equip our graduates with the know-how not just to adapt to change, but to drive it. You can read the piece here.
