As Season 3 of On Campus comes to a close, this wrap-up episode offers a moment to reflect and look ahead. In this, we revisit key themes from the season: student engagement, community connection, professional development, and global learning, while highlighting major shifts that shaped higher education throughout 2025, including the growing role of AI, evolving career pathways, and renewed attention to student belonging. The episode also previews what’s planned for Season 4, with new topics, fresh voices, and timely conversations that continue to explore the changing landscape of higher education.

Unsure if the job listings you see on LinkedIn are ghost posts, spam, or how to investigate red flags as to why a role is open? Wondering how to stand out as a job applicant with AI analyzing resumes? Concerned about whether the compliance profession has a positive outlook? Unsure what a compliance profession really means or includes?

In the third and final installment of the Professional Development trilogy, we speak with Matt Kelly, who provides insights into the power of networking, things to avoid when using AI to apply for jobs (hint: try not to use “Easy Apply”), and the importance of the reporting structure to a job.

What does it mean for a university to truly be global? In this episode, we explore how international partnerships and global engagement enrich both universities and the communities they serve. My guest, Dr. Paulo Mussi Agusto, and I share our experience co-creating the American Academy – a unique collaboration between the Pontifical Catholic University in Parana, Brazil and Kent State University that blends liberal arts education with cross-cultural learning. We discuss why global engagement matters, what makes partnerships successful, and the lessons learned from building a program designed to expand access and opportunity across borders.
