89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio A Call to Education By Phil Redo Managing Director of 89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio Education, the cornerstone of Boston, always has been at the heart of WGBH’s mission. This month, we’re pleased to share the news that 89.7 WGBH is launching a new higher-education desk to identify and report on the many issues affecting the future of higher education. As part of this effort, we will bring on board a dedicated lead reporter/correspondent and partner with, among others, the Forum for the Future of Higher Education, a non-profit community of academic leaders and scholars based at MIT. There never has been a better time to focus on education. Projections from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce suggest that by 2020, nearly two-thirds of all jobs available in the US will require a post-secondary education—and that our nation is nowhere near producing a workforce that can meet those demands. If not significantly narrowed, this projected gap will weaken our future economic competitiveness, threaten our national security, and jeopardize the fundamental concept that a strong democracy requires both a well-informed and well-educated citizenry. Our goal is to examine the many challenges that face the future of higher education, including economics and finance, new technologies, changing demographics, workplace demands, the role of universities here and abroad, and advances in cognitive and neuroscience that could lead to better teaching methods. We will explore these issues by telling compelling stories that connect the issues to their impact on all of us. This dedicated focus on higher education is made possible by a grant from the Lumina Foundation. Look for our reports on 89.7 WGBH in the coming months, and then continue the conversation online, via social media and live events—all of which have the power to create a richer understanding of an aspect of our world that influences the entire world.

NEC | 3.5x9.875” | august 2012 Arts & Ideas Virtually Real At this point in the 21st century, it’s nearly impossible to talk about community-building without talking about the Web, which has radically transformed the way people meet, establish connections, maintain relationships and fight for what they believe in. But often, when changes are discussed, the focus is either on pure enthusiasm about the possibilities, or anxiety about online connections replacing physical ones. In this episode of State of the ReUnion, host Al Letson demonstrates ways the virtual has turned into the real by exploring the Internet’s impact on community-building in people’s daily lives, where the Web’s effects are rarely solely positive or negative. Sun, 2/10 at 7pm A Celtic Sojourn All That Is Irish March is a time for many in the Irish Diaspora to celebrate roots, and each year Brian O’Donovan presents a stage show called A St. Patrick’s Day Celtic Sojourn.
