Educational Theory Seamlessly Combined With Real-Life Expertise 

The economic order has been transformed from one that has historically favored manual labor, routine processes, and repetitive skills (during the Industrial Revolution) to one that now primarily focuses on the artful application and/or manipulation of ideas, concepts and information. As the dominant business model paradigm shifts, education ‚to be effective, must mirror these changes.

Dean Sarah Dennison (RMB luncheon speaker) is riding the wave of newly emerging educational models designed to support skill sets that will help individuals navigate this new economic terrain. As Dean of Academic Affairs, The Art Institutes International Minnesota, Ms. Dennison oversees a new teaching duality designed to seamlessly combine educational theory with real-life, hands-on expertise. She is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor for Innovation Studies, a newly created, graduate-level certificate program, developed under the auspices of the College of Continuing Education, at the University of MN. Here Ms. Dennison has worked closely with such ìinnovation pioneersî as Arthur Harkins.

Come and hear first-hand how new educational models are being developed to help individuals foster a new work currency -- one that includes the coinage of adaptability, innovation, self-leadership, self-marketing, and team formation.
