Join the Conversation: Reimagining the Future of Higher Education.

You're invited to join our upcoming book club reading of Who Needs College Anymore? by Kathleen deLaski, founder and board chair of the Education Design Lab. Her new book is a timely and thought-provoking exploration of how higher education must evolve to meet the needs of today’s learners.

About the Book

In the wake of declining college enrollment and growing skepticism about the value of a degree, Who Needs College Anymore? challenges traditional notions of what postsecondary education should look like. Drawing from over 150 interviews and a decade of design-thinking research from the Education Design Lab, deLaski presents 10 powerful principles to reshape higher education with human-centered design and a focus on new-majority learners—those who have historically been marginalized or overlooked by traditional college pathways.

From bootcamps and apprenticeships to skills-based learning and career training, this book explores real alternatives that equip learners for success in today’s fast-changing economy
