STC Virtual Session: Education in the Age of AI: Learning to be Better Humans

Not since the development of the internet has there been an innovation with greater excitement and concern as the creation of AI. We are honored to host two thought leaders for a jam-packed, can’t-miss discussion on how AI will impact the future of learning–and how its impacts are already far-reaching.

Joining us in conversation are…

• Paul LeBlanc, President of Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). Since 2003, under Paul’s leadership, SNHU has grown from 2,800 students to over 160,000 learners and is the largest nonprofit provider of online higher education in the country. The university was #12 on Fast Company magazine’s “World’s Fifty Most Innovative Companies” list and was the only university included. Forbes Magazine has listed him as one of its 15 “Classroom Revolutionaries” and one of the “most influential people in higher education.” (Full bio here.)
