And for a lot of students, especially post Covid in this day and age of AI and everything else, that helping a student navigate an academic path that they have some ownership in is really liberating.” -John Camp    “My biggest thing for Ruckus Makers is to make sure you have the courage to change education. We're relying on you to be a Ruckus Maker. We're relying on you. We need you to do that. Otherwise the inertia of the system will steamroll and just keep going. And so, yes, as we've talked about, being a Ruckus Maker is not for everybody, and it's not easy. If you have that feeling inside at all about change, we're relying on you to do it. Get out there and do it. Act outside the box and get it done.” -John Camp    Get the episode transcript here!   John’s Resources & Contact Info: Instagram-New England Innovation Academy (@hello.neia)  NEIA's website: www.neiacademy.org   Read my latest book!
