The future of higher education? It’s happening right here. Every month, we bring you lively, no-jargon conversations that spark new ideas, challenge old systems, and show how innovation and equity can work hand in hand for the public good.

In our first episode, we dive right in. Futures Initiative Faculty Chair Professor Shelly Eversley talks with Distinguished Professor Cathy N. Davidson, the founder of FI, about why innovation needs equity—and how both come to life in higher education. Together, they share stories, strategies, and resources that show how real change happens.

Recorded at CUNY TV at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, the Futures Initiative Podcast brings curiosity, courage, and community to every conversation. Subscribe and watch on the Futures Initiative YouTube channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
