… Every time the higher ed landscape changes, I say to myself, “Yup, that was in Dan’s possible futures.” That was the most useful exercise I’ve ever participated in at BC. Kinda think it changed my perspective as far as professional presentations go: I’ve been watching the future unfold ever since..
