About This Podcast
Presented by Maricopa Community Colleges
A Better Way to Do College explores the changing landscape of higher education and the impact those shifts have on access, opportunity, and the people we serve. Hosted by Dr. Steven R. Gonzales, Chancellor of Maricopa Community Colleges, the podcast features candid conversations with educators, students, and thought leaders on the ideas shaping the future of learning, work, and community.
Each episode challenges us to think differently about how education can empower people and the communities around us. By looking beyond the classroom, we can rethink what college can be and discover how higher education can continue to change for the better.
Because there is a better way to do college—and it starts with conversations that matter.
