Started my 1st class discussion inspired by @Freakonomics podcast on happiness: freakonomics.com/podcast/hap… asking grad counseling students what makes them happy, then developing indices to measure happiness. Good way of explaining concepts, constructs, and people's perspectives.

This morning, University President the Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA, PhD, joined the @TODAYshow to reflect on the historic election of Pope Leo XIV—the first Augustinian Pope and a proud Villanova graduate.

Jose Bowen notes that AI has impacted entry level jobs the most. How can help students gain some proficiency in AI #AACU2025
C. Edward Watson:Where does AI as a learning outcome or competency occur or should occur in our curriculum on college campuses? Senior capstone courses? Gen Ed? #AACU2025
Interesting point on AI from Bryan Alexander #AACU2025 - unlike previous tech and industrial innovations, AI has generated few new jobs.

Thanks @amowreader & @insidehighered - on how we can better support our 'academic encores' as they adjust to grad school at their undergrad institution. It is a different role and experience!
Student Success | A Neglected Transition—the Students Who Stay
Each year, a number of undergraduate seniors choose to re-enroll at their institution to further their graduate education. Helping these learners readjust to their alma mater can boost feelings of belonging. bit.ly/4gfEQtd
