Episode 237: Breaking the Myth of Slow-Moving Higher Education

Outdated narratives of slowness in higher education overlook a sector rapidly adapting to new financial pressures, evolving technologies, and rising expectations for student-centered service.

On this episode, Joshua Chovanec, Assistant Vice President of Student Systems and University Registrar at Louisiana Tech University, discusses how the long-standing perception of higher education as slow-moving masks the real drivers of change, and how intentional accountability turns complexity into momentum.
