Shownotes Transcript

Although we're technically in the 21st century, most universities remain deeply rooted in the traditions and antiquated ideas of the past. But there are a few schools around the world that are bravely stepping into new territories. The University of Twente in the Netherlands is doing just that with its revolutionary ATLAS program. On this episode, Big Beacon Radio host Dave Goldberg is joined by Dean Jennifer Herek, professor Wessel Wits, and first year ATLAS student, Suhaib Aslam. Join Jennifer, Wessel, Suhaib, and Dave for a discussion of Twente's groundbreaking ATLAS program, the impact the program has had on students, and what the rest of higher education can learn from trying something new.
