Revered academic, Eve Geroulis, discusses what she’s long referred to as Generation WTF: Generation What’s The Future, and their future in this new age of AI. Eve tells us that the jobs of the future haven’t even been created yet and demand graduates are resilient, able to learn and relearn. Through her new approach to STEM, she teaches us to focus on what distinguishes humans, namely, our ability to unleash – not institutionalize – imaginations. Our rightful quest to graduate students in STEM disciplines is warranted. Traditional STEM consists of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM needs a new definition to survive this rise of the machines. One that resurrects the ancient goal of education teaching Self-awareness, Thoughtfulness, Empathy, and Meaning. Eve Geroulis is a strategist and educator exploring the synergies and intersection of politics, technology, economics, and culture on a global stage. After a 20+ year career with international advertising agencies, tech start-ups, and co-founding a VC funded lifestyle dot com, Eve joined the faculty of Loyola University Chicago Quinlan School of Business in 2003. She teaches within the Department of Marketing at Loyola.
Eve has worked in Europe and the U.S. addressing the role of pedagogy in strategic planning and innovation for universities and corporations. She has commented on mercantile and political realities for news organizations throughout the United States, and delivered a TEDxAcademy Talk in Athens and the opening address of the EU Marie Curie Actions Research & Innovation Conference in Brussels. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
