What Skills Will Matter Most for Graduates in Ten Years?
In Season 3, Episode 1 of the Innovate and Educate podcast, we explore faculty perspectives on a timely question: “What skills will matter most for graduates in ten years?” Listen as Mary Balkun, Ph.D., Director of Faculty Development and Director of Undergraduate Literature Studies in the Department of English, discusses why students should focus on developing adaptable, transferable skills and how authentic, real-world learning experiences can help prepare them for an evolving future. We will also hear from Devon Corneal, M.S., JD, Assistant Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Academics at the Seton Hall University School of Law, as she explores the need for graduates to evaluate information critically, exercise sound judgment, and use technology responsibly. Finally, Dean Bryan Crable, Ph.D., Founding Dean of the College of Human Development, Culture, and Media, examines the value of experiential learning and the broader impact of technology on society, encouraging students to build practical skills through hands-on experiences while serving as thoughtful stewards of emerging technologies. Stay tuned for the next episode of Innovate and Educate, coming the fourth Thursday in October!
