On March 14-15, 2024, Arizona State University hosted its inaugural Future of Learning Community (FOLC) Fest at the Omni Hotel in Tempe. This conference brought together educators, technologists, and student success advocates to explore how ASU can fulfill its charter commitment of making education accessible to all while remaining at the forefront of technological innovation and academic excellence.
One of the standout events of the conference was the Student Keynote Panel, which I had the privilege of moderating. This panel, titled “Student Perspective on the Future of Education,” offered a unique opportunity to hear directly from ASU students about their views on the evolving landscape of education.
Our diverse panel included both undergraduate and graduate students, each bringing their unique experiences and insights to the conversation. The panelists were Sophia Herman, Caleb Lieberman, Frank Liu, and Nicole Oster. That they were amazing is selling them short. I came out of the discussion blown away by their passion, commitment and thoughtfulness. The panel, by prioritizing student voices demonstrated ASU’s commitment to understanding and addressing the needs of its diverse student body, truly set the stage for the rest of the conference .
