“2028: The Decade Ahead for Higher Education”
Opening Plenary – Jeffrey Selingo

Monday, October 8 – 9:00am-10:30am

Jeffrey SelingoMuch like the Industrial Revolution, the world is undergoing another economic revolution right now from a national analog industrial economy to a global digital information economy. This digital revolution of the 21st Century requires us to not just rethink higher education, not just reform it, but as this session will outline, to revolutionize what we learn, when and where we learn, and how we learn.

Jeffrey J. Selingo is a best-selling author and award-winning columnist who helps higher-education leaders imagine the college and university of the future and how to succeed in a fast-changing economy.

Jeff is a special advisor and professor of practice at Arizona State University and a visiting scholar at Georgia Tech’s Center for 21st Century Universities. He is the former top editor of the Chronicle of Higher Education, where he worked for 16 years in a variety of reporting and editing roles.

Jeff is also the author of College (Un)Bound: The Future of Higher Education and What It Means for Students, a New York Times bestselling education book in 2013, and MOOC U: Who Is Getting the Most Out of Online Education and Why. His latest book, There Is Life After College (HarperCollins), explores how today’s young adults need to navigate school for the job market of tomorrow.

Jeff received a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Ithaca College and a master’s degree in government from the Johns Hopkins University. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
