Caroline Levander, Vice President for Global Strategy at Rice University and author of InventEd, pushes for a radical shift in higher education. She asserts that universities must embrace an innovative, startup mentality instead of their traditional museum-like stasis. Levander highlights the essential role of learning from failure and fostering creative risk-taking among students. She also discusses the interplay between humanities courses and innovation, the importance of international student perspectives, and the need to adapt to the AI landscape while maintaining the value of physical campuses.
