  • From Beauty School to Doctorate: Designing Education Around the Whole Student with Dr. Toshua Cornwell-Clark

    From Beauty School to Doctorate: Designing Education Around the Whole Student with Dr. Toshua Cornwell-Clark
    2026/10/20

    Dr. Toshua Cornwell-Clark never set out to earn a doctorate. Her original goal was to become a cosmetologist.

    But when a teaching opportunity at San Diego City College required a degree, one step led to another: an associate degree, a discovery of sociology, bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and eventually an Ed.D. in Organizational Innovation and Leadership from National University.

    In this episode of the Engaged By Design podcast, Vernon Smith talks with Dr. Tosh about that journey—and about what colleges and universities can learn from students whose education has to fit alongside careers, businesses, families, and the rest of life.

    They discuss the importance of faculty mentorship, designing education around the whole student, connecting sociology with cosmetology and beauty standards, and Dr. Tosh’s research on texturism and Eurocentric beauty standards. She also shares the story behind her book Eternal Black Eye, her work as a children’s author, and the remarkable experience of earning a doctorate alongside her sister.

    At the center of the conversation is a simple principle for educators: students may not care how much you know until they know how much you care.

  • Leading Change from Within: Scaling Student-Centered Innovation with Lori Carrell — Part 2

    Leading Change from Within: Scaling Student-Centered Innovation with Lori Carrell — Part 2
    2026/10/13

    How do you lead meaningful change in higher education without letting turf wars, tradition, or institutional complexity stop the work?

    In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Lori Carrell, Chancellor of the University of Minnesota Rochester, we move from the origins of College-in-3 to the leadership and organizational practices required to make innovation happen.

    Lori explains why three-year degrees are not intended to replace the traditional four-year bachelor’s degree. Instead, they are one tool for asking a much bigger question: How can higher education become more student-centered, research-based, affordable, and effective?

    We explore the University of Minnesota Rochester’s approach to evidence-based learning, its Get Forward Faster pathways, its partnership with Mayo Clinic, and the challenge of preserving an innovative culture as a young campus grows.

    Lori also offers an important warning for innovators: yesterday’s innovators can become tomorrow’s barriers.

    A true learning organization has to keep listening, studying, adapting, and redesigning around the students it serves today.

  • Rethinking the Four-Year Degree: The Story Behind College-in-3 with Chancellor Lori Carrell — Part 1

    Rethinking the Four-Year Degree: The Story Behind College-in-3 with Chancellor Lori Carrell — Part 1
    2026/10/06
    Why does a bachelor’s degree need to take four years and 120 credits? More importantly, what would happen if colleges started with the learning outcomes students actually need and designed backward from there?In Part 1 of our conversation with Dr. Lori Carrell, Chancellor of the University of Minnesota Rochester and co-founder of the College-in-3 Exchange, we explore the origins of a national movement to rethink the structure of the bachelor’s degree.Lori traces her own path from a curious child growing up in a rural community to professor, higher education reformer, and what she calls an “accidental chancellor.” She explains how her work with Robert Zemsky eventually led to College-in-3 and a growing network of institutions exploring intentionally designed three-year bachelor’s degrees.But this is not simply about cutting 30 credits from an existing degree.Lori argues that the real opportunity is to use research about how people learn, design around meaningful student outcomes, improve completion and career preparation, and make higher education more affordable at the same time.In This EpisodeLori’s journey from rural childhood to university chancellorWhy curiosity and even boredom can be powerful forces for learningHow Lori met Robert ZemskyThe conversations that led to Communicate for a ChangeWhere the original three-year degree idea came fromHow the pandemic helped reopen possibilities for higher education redesignUMR’s faculty design sprint and the prototype for an accelerated degreeWhy a three-year degree cannot simply be a four-year degree with courses removedHow faculty teams across disciplines became early College-in-3 explorersThe role of accreditors and policymakers in making experimentation possibleWhy seat time and learning are not the same thingLori’s critique that higher education values learning research but often fails to implement it at scaleDesigning simultaneously for quality, completion, affordability, and career launchWhat institutions considering three-year degrees should think about firstAbout Lori CarrellLori J.
