Summary

In this bonus episode recorded live at the ASU+GSV summit in San Diego, we sat down with Kate Valenti, CEO of Unicon, about how higher education institutions must evolve their digital infrastructure to meet changing learner expectations. They explore the growing importance of interoperability, skills data, and learner-centered design—especially as institutions work to connect education more seamlessly with workforce outcomes. The conversation also examines how AI is shaping both opportunity and noise in the market, emphasizing the need for a pragmatic, value-driven approach that balances emerging technology with human expertise, judgment, and long-term strategy.
