EdUp Author Insights

In this episode of EdUp Author Insights, hosts Chuck Ambrose and Mike Nietzel interview Elliot Felix about his journey, lessons learned from consulting with 100+ institutions, and insights from The Connected College. They divide into using design thinking to break down silos, libraries as student success hubs, practical strategies to do less with more focus—and sunset duplicative services, engaging faculty using Rogers’ diffusion of innovations framework, the future of athletics integration in an era of NIL and transfer portals, and how to measure what matters: belonging, retention, and post-grad outcomes.
