Get to know Davis College’s Advisors

Our collaborators and advisors include some of the world’s foremost education experts and innovators building solutions for the next generation.

Last October, we brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and change makers from every industry to our first annual Education for a Changing Planet Summit, to critically examine our current education systems and assess how they are preparing young people for the realities of the 21st century. Partners and education experts from around the world came together to discuss affordable and scalable higher education business models, in addition to curriculum and pedagogy that equips students with the skills, mindsets, and attitudes necessary for professional and personal success on a changing planet.

These radical thinkers and bold leaders continue to help us refine our model, map out our long-term strategy, and explore and facilitate disruption and innovation in global education models and industries beyond in the world of work. Meet some of our expert advisors:
