Praise for RECLAIMING PURPOSE “Drawing on his decades of experience as student, professor, and university president, Paul LeBlanc has written an important, timely—indeed indispensable—book.” —HOWARD GARDNER, Hobbs Research Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard University; Author of Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences; Five Minds for the Future; and Truth, Beauty and Goodness Reframed; and co-author of The Real World of College: What Higher Education Is and What It Can Be “Few leaders in higher education have earned the right to speak about the future with the depth, humility, and moral seriousness that Paul LeBlanc brings to Reclaiming Purpose. Drawing on decades of experience reinventing access and opportunity, Paul does not offer hype or easy answers. Instead, he does what the best thinkers do: he situates AI within a long arc of human history and asks what kind of people—and institutions—we must become next. This is not a book about tools. It is a book about purpose, written by one of the rare leaders who has both imagined the future and built it.” —PATRICK METHVIN, Director of Postsecondary Success, The Gates Foundation “Reclaiming Purpose is a joy to read and engaging—like slipping into a nice warm foamy bath with a cup of hot chocolate. Except that the hot chocolate has chili in it because the book has bite. I found it compelling and timely. Having spent so many years working at the intersection of AI and learning, and having watched many promising frameworks rise and fall, I can say with confidence that this book gets the fundamentals right; and does so with a clarity and urgency that the field desperately needs.” —DR. ROSE LUCKIN, University College London and CEO of Educate Ventures “This is the book on AI I have been waiting for. Only Paul LeBlanc could have written it. And the higher education community needs to read it and adopt its recommendations.” —ARTHUR LEVINE, President of Brandeis University and author of The Great Upheaval and From Upheaval to Action A strategic framework for understanding how AI will transform higher education In Reclaiming Purpose: The University in an AI World, Paul LeBlanc, former President of Southern New Hampshire University and widely recognized as one of the most innovative educators in higher education, delivers a framing perspective for understanding artificial intelligence's impact on learning institutions. The book helps educators and university leaders navigate this technological revolution with clarity and purpose. LeBlanc draws on doctoral research in revolutionary technological change and decades of leadership experience to provide practical guidance for institutions facing unprecedented disruption.
