The goal is simple: make credentials stackable, transfer predictable, and pathways flexible enough for learners to move in and out of education as their careers evolve.</p><p>In this episode of <a href="https://techedpodcast.com/" target="_blank">The TechEd Podcast</a>, host Matt Kirchner speaks with <strong>Ͽ Chancellor Katherine Frank</strong> and Chippewa Valley Technical College President Sunem Beaton-Garcia about how their institutions have developed streamlined pathways for learners that support lifelong learning.</p><p>They break down how institutions can design on-ramps and off-ramps, align programs across tech/community college and university systems, expand credit recognition, and keep partnerships active so transfer works in real life (no more “credits to nowhere”). The conversation also expands to what this shift means nationally as technology and workforce needs change rapidly.</p></div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="section section-pad--bottom

five-year academic roadmap for a polytechnic institution moving at full speed? Ͽ <strong>Provost Glendalí Rodríguez</strong> tackles that question in an episode of <a href="https://higher.digital/resources/?filter=podcasts" target="_blank">TRANSFORMED</a>, a podcast produced by <a href="https://higher.digital/" target="_blank">Higher Digital</a>. In a conversation with host Joe Gottlieb titled “Comprehensive Academic Planning in the Age of Polytechnic Velocity,” Rodriguez walks through how her team built a forward-looking plan that balances ambitious academic goals with the operational realities of running a university.</p><p>The episode digs into the practical side of strategic planning: using data to guide decisions, leading collaboratively across departments, and turning big-picture goals into initiatives people can act on. Rodriguez also shares insights on managing change, strengthening industry partnerships, and keeping academic programs responsive to a fast-changing job market – all hallmarks of Ͽ’s polytechnic approach to higher education.</p><p>Whether you’re navigating your own institution’s strategic plan or just curious how a provost approaches change at this scale, the conversation offers an honest look at both the challenges and the wins along the way. Tune in to hear Rodríguez’s student- and faculty-focused vision for building a more resilient university.</p></div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="section section-pad--bottom content-text" 235895> <div class="container"> <div class="l-content--main"> <div> <p><iframe src="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1449907/episodes/15695416?client_source=small_player&amp;iframe=true&amp;referrer=https://www.buzzsprout.com/1449907/episodes/15695416?container_id=buzzsprout-player-15695416&amp;player=small" loading="lazy" width="100%" height="200" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" title="TRANSFORMED, Comprehensive Academic Planning in the Age of Polytechnic Velocity"></iframe></p></div> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div> <div class="views-element-container"><div class="view view-term-based-news view-id-term_based_news view-display-id-block_5 js-view-dom-id-e7147b15bf6c1109a6d87a68c798f879d1b10b277043d561c4bf697e2fb9b833"> <section class="section cta-image--block section-pad"> <div class="hr--top"><hr></div> <div class="container"> <header class="section__heading"> <h2 class="section__heading__title">Podcasts</h2> <span class="link-breaker"></span> <a class="link" href="/about-us/news-center/podcasts">All Podcasts News</a> </header> <div class="l-3up--1 cta-image__item article-list"> <a class="cta-image__image-link" href="/about-us/news-center/podcast-beyond-bell-highlights-uw-stout-steam-summer-camps"> <img class="article-list__image image-style-medium" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/2026-04/STEAM_Camp_Drone_Competition_R5_415.jpg?itok=AC1WwBzG" width="1178" height="884" alt="PODCAST: Beyond the Bell highlights Ͽ STEAM Summer Camps Featured Image" loading="lazy" /> </a> <h3 class="article-list__title"> <a href="/about-us/news-center/podcast-beyond-bell-highlights-uw-stout-steam-summer-camps"> PODCAST: Beyond the Bell highlights Ͽ STEAM Summer Camps </a> </h3> <div class="cta-image__teaser"> STEAM Camps invite sixth- to 12th-grade students to delve into science, technology, engineering, design and more in Stout labs. </div> </div> <div class="l-3up--2 cta-image__item article-list"> <a class="cta-image__image-link" href="/about-us/news-center/podcast-chancellor-frank-tells-teched-podcast-about-reframing-higher-ed"> <img class="article-list__image image-style-medium" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/2026-01/frank-garcia-768x553.jpg?itok=xdgsNV5d" width="1178" height="884" alt="PODCAST: Chancellor Frank tells TechEd Podcast about reframing higher ed Featured Image" loading="lazy" /> </a> <h3 class="article-list__title"> <a href="/about-us/news-center/podcast-chancellor-frank-tells-teched-podcast-about-reframing-higher-ed"> PODCAST: Chancellor Frank tells TechEd Podcast about reframing higher ed </a> </h3> <div class="cta-image__teaser"> Ͽ chancellor, CVTC president discuss reframing higher education </div> </div> <div class="l-3up--3 cta-image__item article-list"> <a class="cta-image__image-link" href="/about-us/news-center/podcast-provost-rodriguez-speaks-transformed-podcast-about-comprehensive-academic-planning"> <img class="article-list__image image-style-medium" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/2026-06/Glendali-Rodriguez%20podcast%20tile.jpg?h=5b3d191b&amp;itok=tvnwP61V" width="1178" height="884" alt="PODCAST: Provost Rodriguez speaks to TRANSFORMED podcast about comprehensive academic planning Featured Image" loading="lazy" /> </a> <h3 class="article-list__title"> <a href="/about-us/news-center/podcast-provost-rodriguez-speaks-transformed-podcast-about-comprehensive-academic-planning"> PODCAST: Provost Rodriguez speaks to TRANSFORMED podcast about comprehensive academic planning </a> </h3> <div class="cta-image__teaser"> Rodriguez shares how her team developed a forward-looking roadmap to guide institution </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <span> Rodriguez shares how her team developed a forward-looking roadmap to guide institution</span> <a href="/media/61340" hreflang="en">Provost Glendali Rodriguez on TRANSFORMED podcast</a><div> <a href="/taxonomy/term/316" hreflang="en">University Marketing</a></div> <div> Search Keywords: pocast</div> <div> Include in Directory: Off</div> <div> Exclude from Internal Site Search: No</div> Thu, 12 Sep 2024 17:00:00 +0000 giffeyt 3180665 at PODCAST: Frank, Ding speak to Tech Ed Podcast about groundbreaking automation leadership degree /about-us/news-center/podcast-frank-ding-speak-tech-ed-podcast-about-groundbreaking-automation-leadership-degree PODCAST: Frank, Ding speak to Tech Ed Podcast about groundbreaking automation leadership degree<span><span>giffeyt</span></span> <span><time datetime="2023-09-19T08:00:00-05:00" title="Tuesday, September 19, 2023 -

The first program of its kind in the United States, the Automation Leadership degree was built to give students both the technical know-how and the business skills needed to lead a company through digital transformation.</p></div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="section content-text"> <div class="container"> <div class="l-content--main"> <figure class="content-image__figure--v-largeright"> <div> <img class="image-style-uws-medium-vertical-480-640-" src="/sites/default/files/styles/uws_medium_vertical_480_640_/public/2026-07/Ͽ-on-The-TechEd-Podcast%20VERTICAL.jpg?itok=yqRx7mZL" alt="Headshots of two people" /> </div> </figure> <div> <p>The episode explores how the program blends hands-on training in robotics, PLCs, CNC, control systems, sensors and other industrial technologies with coursework in project management, lean manufacturing, and systems integration – pairing technical depth with leadership readiness in a way few degrees attempt. Frank and Ding also discuss how the program reflects broader shifts in higher education, with more flexible on-ramps and off-ramps for students. Notably, up to 88 credits toward the degree can come from <a href="https://www.saca.org/" target="_blank">Smart Automation Certification Alliance</a> (SACA) credentials, making the path faster and more accessible for high schoolers, community college students, and working professionals alike.</p><p>By building the program around existing SACA industry certification standards rather than starting from scratch, Ͽ has created a degree that’s directly aligned with what manufacturers actually need – one that other SACA member institutions can plug into through articulation agreements. Listen to Frank and Ding unpack how this new degree fits into Ͽ’s polytechnic mission and what it means for the future of manufacturing education.</p></div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="section section-pad--bottom content-text" 235946> <div class="container"> <div class="l-content--main"> <div> <p><iframe src="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1340257/13594421-groundbreaking-automation-leadership-degree-is-a-fast-track-to-industry-4-0-chancellor-katherine-frank-and-dr-david-ding-uw-stout?client_source=small_player&amp;iframe=true&amp;referrer=https://www.buzzsprout.com/1340257/13594421-groundbreaking-automation-leadership-degree-is-a-fast-track-to-industry-4-0-chancellor-katherine-frank-and-dr-david-ding-uw-stout.js?container_id=buzzsprout-player-13594421&amp;player=small" loading="lazy" width="100%" height="200" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" title="The TechEd Podcast, Reframing Higher Education: A Connected Model for Colleges and Universities - Dr. Katherine Frank &amp;

The Stout trio, and others involved in the project, are pushing to change that through a build-based education experience that teaches students about cultural innovation.</p> <p>To make sure the learning sticks, the project deliverable is embracing the absurd with inspiration from Russell E. Oakes (aka "<a href="https://www.thevintagenews.com/2021/10/05/inventor-russell-e-oakes-concocted-many-inspired-but-useless-items-here-are-some-of-the-strangest/?D10c=1&amp;D_4_6_10cALL=1&amp;D_10_20cALL=1&amp;A10c=1" target="_blank">Professor I.M. Nuts</a>").</p> <p><strong>Sara Brewer ('17)</strong>, a graduate of the <a href="/programs/bs-professional-communication-and-emerging-media" rel="noopener" target="_blank">professional communication and emerging media</a> program, discovered the 19th-century-born ad man from Waukesha, whose overactive innovation led to a legacy of odd inventions and theatrics. Among more than 50 creations, Oakes's Spaghetti Aid was part hand beater, part fork and 100% absurd. It also made for a perfect oddity to help younger students explore iterative design, Wisconsin history and cultural evolution through the maker lens.</p> <p>Since Brewer's initial research, Stout students have played a important hands-on role in the project's development—doing research, creating content, designing and redesigning Oakes's prototype, testing and developing the process, and working with elementary students. DeCosta, an <a href="/programs/bfa-industrial-and-product-design" rel="noopener" target="_blank">industrial and product design</a> major from St. Paul, finished version 2.0 of the initial redesign in Spring 2023.</p> <p><em>Listen in at 1:14:00 when Ogden, Astwood and DeCosta discuss the inspiration and development of their project.</em></p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen allowtransparency="true"
