In this episode of The Metamorphosis Moment, we explore what it means to truly serve today’s learners—and how higher education must evolve to keep pace.
Nancie McDonnell Ruder sits down with Kevin Corcoran, Strategy Director at Lumina Foundation, to discuss the urgent need for trust, relevance and flexibility in the higher ed landscape. From competency-based learning to audience-informed strategies, Kevin shares how institutions can reframe their stories to align with the lived experiences of today’s students—many of whom are balancing work, family and finances while pursuing their education.
With a background in investigative journalism and systems strategy, Kevin brings a unique perspective to this moment of transformation. He unpacks the disconnect between institutional intent and student reality—and how community colleges, in particular, can lead the way through bold branding, partnerships, and place-based strategies.
If you're a higher ed leader, strategist, or brand builder navigating change, this conversation offers powerful insights and practical direction.
