Weekly Wisdom Interview with Doug Lederman with Bridget Burns

Stats don't lie – the gaps in bachelor's degree attainment are stark and speak volumes. On this episode of the Innovating Together podcast, hosts Bridget Burns and Doug Lederman provide an update on higher education trends, the UIA's goal setting process and Bridget shared the dates for the UIA National Summit.

Bridget also discussed some new data trends of concern, including:  Why are men and boys less likely to pursue higher education? How do we bridge the urban-rural education divide? And much more.   Listen in as we explore cross-sector solutions and the concerted effort needed to chart a new course for inclusivity in learning.

"We have to prepare teachers better, think differently about how we support them, and deal with the broader question's about the value of going to college."
