Educators strive to equip students with the tools necessary for enlightenment, self-empowerment, and success. Once students begin their college experience, it becomes the responsibility of that institution’s professors and administration to prepare those students for future endeavors.
We must be in a continuous state of innovation to ensure that students today do not emerge from their universities with outdated knowledge and techniques. Technology and job performance demands continually raise the bar for potential future employees to succeed. As professional educators, we need to raise the bar as well to ensure our students have the skills and knowledge to succeed in our ever-changing world. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present… so we must think anew and act anew.”
