Summary
How do we make college more accessible, relevant, and future-ready—without sacrificing quality? In Part 1 of this two-part series, hosts Jared Taylor and Lindsey Crosland sit down with Dr. Vernon Smith, a trailblazer in higher education innovation, to explore the origins and growth of dual enrollment, the value of early college credit, and the bold decisions that transformed Rio Salado College into a national model for access and impact. From AI-driven language learning to pioneering distance education in the 1990s, Dr. Smith shares a sweeping look at his journey through academia—and why true innovation always begins with mission-driven thinking and courageous partnerships.
