Cherie Bowker, The Future of Digital Education: Preparing Students for Tomorrow's Tech Challenges

In this episode, host Tyler Chisholm sits down with **Cherie Bowker**, Dean of SAIT’s School for Advanced Digital Technology, to explore rebuilding post-secondary education from the inside out. Cherie shares how SAIT is breaking the mould—from launching Alberta’s first downtown cyber range to creating agile programs that respond directly to workforce demand. She unpacks the tension between tradition and transformation and why institutions that can’t adapt risk becoming irrelevant. Whether you're a business leader, educator, or lifelong learner, this episode boldly examines the future of education and how SAIT is making it happen.
