From Dezeen: "Educators increasingly understand that exposure to new ideas or disciplines is conducive to creativity and innovation," says RAMSA Partner Melissa DelVecchio, FAIA about designing the Schoenecker Center at the University of St. Thomas for interdisciplinary learning. "As a result, many universities and colleges are looking to move beyond the traditional, siloed departmental model in favor of one that values and encourages convergence." 📍 Tap to read more about our collaboration with BWBR and McGough: https://bit.ly/3BKItIe Design led by Melissa DelVecchio, Graham S.

Jamie Merisotis, President of Lumina Foundation, challenged us to embrace this critical moment for higher education. With growing skepticism about the value of a degree, Merisotis urged leaders to focus on connecting learning to the issues facing our communities and preparing students for active, informed citizenship. Higher education is at a crossroads. How we define its role today will shape its impact tomorrow. #AllInCCA2024
