Shaping Digital Transformation

How Sacred Heart’s MBA is leading the charge Apple, Amazon, Uber.

Thirty years ago, no one could have predicted the massive impact these companies would have on the way we communicate, buy goods, get from place to place and live our lives. But digital transformation is rapidly upending companies and entire industries, forcing us to question historical ways of doing and delivering business.

Some experts project that more than 60% of the skills that individuals learn today will be outdated by 2030 for this everchanging economy.

“Today it is all about being innovative and resourceful while growing core competencies and building sustainable practices on an ongoing basis,” said Nicole C. Jackson, Ph.D., director of the MBA program at Sacred Heart University (SHU). “No longer can students just depend upon a set of traditional skills as a guarantee of future success. Rather they will need to build skills continuously and grow newer mindsets for this newer economy while also maintaining firm grounding of who they are and what value they aim to deliver.”

How did it happen? Exciting platforms, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data, the decentralization of finance and blockchain technology and the advent of predictive analytics are converging to create a brave new world of possibilities.

And, just as generations past had to adapt to the changeover from the horse-and-buggy to the car and the typewriter to the word processor, college students must keep pace.

The trick is to put aside fear of the unknown and forge ahead to build a future of abundance and capabilities, Jackson said.

“If we can skill people the right way, they should have even more opportunity,” she said.

It’s a challenge SHU has taken to heart in the last few years. SHU’s Jack Welch College of Business & Technology (WCBT) stands at the forefront of defining emerging career trajectories within the reality of digital transformation.

WCBT’s MBA program with an innovation management concentration teaches the application of technology in business rather than presenting technology as a separate function, providing an understanding of core business models and forms of marketing and management. It also presents a crucial understanding as to how digital transformation technologies such as AI and Big Data will require novel ways to approach traditional business problems.

In addition, SHU offers a wealth of exciting spaces and resources for exploration. In 2019, WCBT moved into the renovated East Building of the former GE headquarters, which now forms SHU’s expansive West Campus.

West Campus is home to TechnologyEnhanced Active Learning Environment (TEAL) classrooms, collaborative student workspaces, special case study rooms for Socratic-method teaching and Echo-360 technology to facilitate interaction with online students here and abroad.

SHU iHub, the first co-working space in a university environment powered

by Verizon, is an 8,000-square-foot collaborative workspace where teams of entrepreneurs from the region and students can work on start-up ideas. The flexible space is supported by a studentled concierge service, hot desks, offices and conference rooms and a full-time community manager to make sure everything runs smoothly. In addition, students have access to classrooms equipped with the latest in augmented, virtual and mixed reality components and technology.

Building on SHU’s emphasis on critical thinking and judgment, students are challenged through problem-based learning to create and innovate. Pairing new technology with the rich grounding of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition encourages students to collaborate, recognize their own ethical underpinnings and immerse themselves in the creative, continuous learning model that digital transformation fosters.

A meaningful capstone project pairs students with local agencies through the SHU-based Center for Nonprofit Organizations. Bringing their up-to-date acumen to a nonprofit’s real-world challenges helps deepen their understanding of the relationships between business and the community.

It also hones the breadth and depth of their skills for a future in both nonprofit and for-profit entities large and small.

“Today’s business leaders need to be both fluid and fluent. It’s not just ‘I know accounting’ or ‘I know marketing,’” Jackson said. “There needs to be a commitment to making a positive impact, to innovation and empathy and ethics. With all the technology, we always put humans at the center of it.”

SHU’s MBA program is now accepting applications for fall. For more information, visit www.sacredheart.edu/mymba

PAIER COLLeGE As you look out the window of your classroom, the ferry is gliding across the crystal blue waters of Long Island Sound on its way to Port Jeff. A few birds are making another pass over Seaside Park, as people are just starting games on the soccer and baseball fields.

Within walking distance, beachgoers dot the golden sand as the afternoon sun heats up. In front of you, your instructor guides you through today’s theories and techniques before taking you outside for the rest of class to apply what you just learned. You plan to head to the dining hall with some new friends before walking along the shore with your break between classes.

This is no daydream. This is just the sort of environment Paier College students get to enjoy on a daily basis – at least until the snow comes.

Founded in 1946, Paier College recently

completed its relocation and transition to Bridgeport ushering in a new era of training commercial artists and designers, refreshed for the 21st century learner. This transition not only grew the physical footprint of the College, it also saw Paier add new programs to its curriculum offerings; the school now offers 13 academic programs in visual and fine art, design, software and coding, marketing and communications. Students can earn certificates and undergraduate degrees in these various fields and in early 2022, Paier announced the addition of the graduate level programs; an M.P.S. in Design Management and an M.A. in Global Media and Communication Studies.

Serving for years as Connecticut’s only independent art college, Paier College has a 75-year legacy of training artists with career-oriented education. Its mission

Paier College, located in Bridgeport, CT on Long Island Sound, offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in design, marketing, fine arts, communications, and more.

focuses on inspiring the creative minds of tomorrow and fostering intellectual curiosity and innovation. Graduates are prepared to solve real-world problems, be stewards of civic responsibility and

engage with others through collaborative experience.

For a prospective student seeking to find a balance of value, affordability, small class size, personalized education, opportunity

and rewarding experiences, then nationally accredited Paier College should be on the list for residents, commuters and nontraditional learners alike. Here’s what one student, Nikah, had to say about her experience: “For anyone considering Paier, I love it here because I’ve accomplished so much. I have amazing teachers who guide me along the way. My work has been recognized with awards and accolades. It’s a place where it really feels like the staff care about the students. As a result, I’ve had the opportunity to shine at Paier. Now I’m about to graduate and I have the job of a lifetime lined up, working alongside one of the best interior designers in New York. There were times when my world felt upside down, but at Paier, I’ve learned to challenge myself. My teachers never gave up on me and I truly have them to thank for everything. I’m proud to be at Paier.”

Inspiring the Next Generation of Health-Care Professionals

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER WITH A

GRADUATE

DEGREE FROM SOUTHERN

Thirty-one New Haven area high school students attended Southern’s second annual Summer Nursing Symposium in the newly opened College of Health and Human Services building this June. The five-day oncampus learning experience presented an opportunity for Southern faculty to mentor local students of underrepresented backgrounds into health-care fields.

Along with gaining hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment, participant Riley Baez, a rising senior at the Engineering and Science University Magnet School, appreciated the opportunity to work alongside professionals in the field.

“Hanging around the professors all day, you really see how they genuinely want to get to know us. They see us as individual people and want to help us pursue our careers.”

Participants learned about different nursing pathways, were introduced to common supplies used within the profession and practiced using them, participated in simulations, and even ventured off-campus to shadow a nurse at Yale-New Haven Hospital. The program also provided participants with in-depth exposure to all parts of the medical field, allowing them to selectively hone-in on areas of interest with their future careers in mind.

According to Dr. Kristen Borgognone, assistant professor of nursing, hosting the symposium in the new Health and Human Services building enhanced participants’ ability to fully immerse themselves in health-care simulations.

“They’ve had the opportunity to really experience the role of the nurse in many different hands-on activities. They can ask questions. First, we show them, then they actually can turn around and teach each other and that’s really good when you see SCSU, page 10

Wondering if there’s room for graduate school in your busy life?

Southern’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies provides you with affordable market-driven programs delivered in flexible formats that will fit your schedule and help to advance your career.

that happen.”

Many of the activities were held in the fourth floor’s nursing simulation labs and the first floor’s 120-seat lecture hall.

Molly Pellino, a rising junior at Wilbur Cross High School, described the experience as “adapting with the generation.”

“This building gives you a lot of exposure to nursing, (and the) many different things you can try and use,” said Pellino.

Thanks to an expansive partnership with Yale New Haven Health, Southern will double the number of B.S. nurses graduating from the university within the next four years, helping to address a critical nursing shortage in Connecticut heightened by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a bid to boost diversity in the nursing ranks, the grant also funds two new initiatives providing nursing education and career growth opportunities for certified nursing aides and high school students, respectively.

After this week’s visit to Southern and Yale New Haven Hospital, Pellino and Baez feel more confident about their choice to go into the health-care field, as well as having Southern as a potential pathway towards earning a degree.

“I came into this program barely knowing what I wanted to do,” said Baez. “This helped me narrow it down to a family nurse practitioner.”
