Academic I.T. Educational Futurist

Today, colleges and universities are beginning to identify students who are adept at learning online and reward the top achievers and professors. Employers, graduate and business schools are beginning to troll MOOCs [massive open online courses] seeking viable job, and academic, candidates. In fact, the nation’s graduate and B-school students were enrolled in more than 118 online programs. MOOCs offer greater access for a larger number of students, at significantly lower costs than on-site programs. By the same token, Dr. Marcinko believes technology like Blackboard®, Cernage, eXplorance, BANNER and Kalture must be used to full potential. Smart phones, PCs and tablets, videos, interactive games, AI simulators and apps with Blue-Jean®, Zoom® and Skype®-like virtual classrooms and cloud storage are obvious embellishments to online initiatives.

A Continuing Education [CE] Pioneer

It is also increasingly imperative to expand the universe of targeted adult-learners. This is for aspiring professionals, managers, executives and leaders, or those already in the workforce. The tuition gathering universe is thus expanded beyond graduation. Dr. Marcinko developed and launched several such successful CE programs that were merged or sold to private investors, colleges and hedge funds. Also known as Executive Service Line [ESL] education, this business model refers to academic programs for adults that are generally non-credit and non-degree-granting, but may lead to professional certifications. Estimates by Business Week magazine suggest that executive education in the United States is a $900 million annual business with approximately 80 percent provided by university schools. In addition to the educational benefits, monetary dividends are reaped as enrollment eases matriculation access. Similar programs at the Wharton School, Darden, Harvard, Duke, Yale and the Goizueta Business School at Emory University charge premium rates for the implied institutional moniker.

Diversity Statement

Diversity is not a tolerance for difference but the inclusion of those who are not the majority. It should not be measured as a count or a fraction because these metrics are somehow just demeaning. Success will be when we no longer ask if we are diverse enough, because it has become the norm, not the remarkable. Accordingly, an important ruling on affirmative action and inclusion was given by the Supreme Court in 1978. Allan Bakke, a white man, was denied admission to a medical school that had admitted black candidates with weaker academic credentials. Bakke contended that he was a victim of racial discrimination. The Court ruled that Bakke had been illegally denied admission, but also that medical schools were entitled to consider race as a factor in admissions. So, ever since I came-of-age in Baltimore, Maryland under this decision, I have been an advocate of women, the handicapped and minorities. For example, as Department Chair and Residency Director at a local hospital, I was credited with accepting the first women, LGBT and African American interns and residents into our post-graduate education and surgical fellowship training program.
