Congrats to all of the 2023 graduates! Check out this this weeks episode as we share our Salute to Graduates episode featuring my mentor Dr. Michael Plater. With a distinguished career as an executive leader in both academia and the corporate world, Dr. Plater is a strategic business partner to administrators at institutions of higher education. His passion is helping to solve the economic pressures of talent-related challenges for colleges and universities around the globe. His leadership in developing data-driven insights, creating new key performance indicators, and aligning faculty and support staff is proven to restore profitability for efficient, strategic growth.
As vice president of higher education at Kelly Education, he's currently reimagining the adjunct instructor workforce as a global talent pool--removing the administrative burdens of recruiting, tax and wage compliance, workers' compensation, and professional development for academic institutions--clearing the way for the best, credentialed talent to share their real-world insights with students regardless of geography.
A champion of on campus and the virtual-learning experience, his expertise extends into the development and application of big data, artificial intelligence, and gamification through online education platforms.
As a leader, Dr. Plater believes that everyone deserves equity, respect, acknowledgement, and the opportunity to achieve professional growth. He encourages open dialogue and fosters inclusion of diverse perspectives to drive successful innovation.
