Technology key to future of higher education, official says - Yuma Sun
A University of Phoenix official made his first visit to the Yuma campus Thursday to discuss the next generation of higher education with members of the community. About 35 representatives from local school districts, businesses, banks and government agencies, including the city of Yuma, Yuma Proving Ground and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, were expected to attend. In an interview with The Sun prior to the dinner, Brian Lindquist, associate vice president for academic affairs, discussed the highlights of his speech, focusing on technology advances that impact higher education. Lindquist said a lot of research has been done to find out what qualities employers want in their employees. The most desired employees would have good communication skills, be adaptable, work well in teams, and be able to solve problems and think critically.
