Episode 10
Thursday, 12 March, 2026
In this live episode of Admit It!, host Dr. Alex Fronduto sits down with Dr. Michael Williams, Executive Director of Strategy, Innovation, and Effectiveness at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, to explore his SEM Conference presentation: “Re-Evaluating Program Success: A New Model for Non-Traditional Program Evaluation.”Michael dives into how institutions can rethink what “successful” programs look like—especially those serving non-traditional, adult, and online learners. He introduces a new evaluation model that moves beyond traditional metrics to incorporate mission alignment, learner outcomes, market demand, and long-term sustainability. The conversation highlights why this shift is necessary, how Embry-Riddle developed its framework, and what lessons other institutions can apply when examining their own program portfolios.Host:Dr. Alex FrondutoFaculty Lead, M.Ed in Higher Education Administration & Associate Teaching Professor Northeastern UniversityGuest:Dr. Michael Williams, Executive Director of Strategy, Innovation, and Effectiveness, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
