The Innovation Insider podcast is a look inside the work and the people of the University of Michigan’s Center for Academic Innovation. We talk to guests about their role at the center in shaping the future of learning, their career trajectory and their passions inside and outside of work. The conversations are casual, unexpected and inspiring. All of it makes the people of the center more three-dimensional, which is particularly needed after two years of remote work.
