Live from DisruptED with Dan White

About the Episode: 

In this bonus episode recorded live at the Collegis Education DisruptED summit in Phoenix, we spoke with Dan White from NJIT about the evolution of online education and how institutions can build more effective, integrated digital programs. They explore how shifting away from rigid OPM models toward more flexible, capacity-building partnerships enabled NJIT to refine its recruitment strategy and strengthen internal capabilities. 

The conversation also highlights the importance of student success initiatives—like proactive coaching and personalized support—in improving retention and creating a more seamless student experience. Ultimately, it’s a call for institutions to be intentional, collaborative, and student-centered as they navigate digital transformation and scale online learning.
