The EdUp Experience podcast hosted President Steve Stoute on its March 10 episode. The hourlong interview focused on how the university’s first-gen president is working to make a Canisius education accessible. The conversation touched on how Canisius is eliminating barriers to student success and expanding student-centered education, and how institutions can best balance tradition and transformation. The EdUp Experience is considered America’s leading higher education podcast and a go-to resource for education leaders. Listen to the interview on the EdUp Experience.
