4.23. Michael J. Avaltroni Ph.D. - Fairleigh Dickinson Unviersity

Dr. JP Novin is joined by Michael J. Avaltroni, Ph.D., President of Fairleigh Dickinson University, for a conversation about the future of higher education in an era of artificial intelligence, shifting workforce demands, and growing institutional pressures. President Avaltroni shares how FDU is reimagining education through its “humanics” approach, combining technological and data literacy with human connection, empathy, and judgment. Together, they explore AI integration, lifelong learning, public policy, and how universities can prepare students not just for their first jobs, but for a rapidly changing future.
