Pulse Check: The Value of Higher Ed: Spoiler Alert, It's More than ROI — Pt 4
In the final part of this Pulse Check series, Host Michele Ehrhart welcomes Jason Cook, Vice President for Marketing and Communications and Chief Marketing Officer at Baylor University, to discuss how a college degree represents far more than a certificate—it encompasses personal, spiritual, and character growth, alongside critical thinking and leadership. In an era increasingly shaped by AI, human connection and complex problem-solving become key differentiators. Together, they explore how higher education fosters ethical boundaries, adaptability, and personal calling, urging institutions to articulate the enduring, holistic value of the campus experience.
