Goethe University Frankfurt is developing into a magnet for young, successful professors.

During the discussions, they reported on the new spirit of optimism at Frankfurt University and on the excellent working conditions they expected to find there.

  • Putting Students on the Case

    In early 2001, I was the victim of credit card fraud. I had my credit card number stolen and put on the black market for cyber criminals to purchase. I ended up investigating this crime myself and not only found the perpetrators, but a career path as well. Today, I’m applying what I learned from this personal experience to my career at a Fortune 500 technology company and to the Cyber Crimes and Information Security class I lead at University of Phoenix.

  • Breaking the Barriers of Traditional Learning

    When the Fischler School opened its doors more than 35 years ago, the barriers of traditional learning were shattered, causing a ripple effect that can be felt today. Most modern classrooms of the day relied entirely on-site instruction- blackboards, professors, desks, students, and long lectures. Nova Southeastern University (NSU) was new. NSU was novel. NSU and its Fischler School of Education changed the rules of how adult learners learn. Blackboards became WebCT; professors travelled to cluster sites; students learned on-line in the privacy of their homes; lectures became on-line courses with audio, video, discussion, and interaction. Nova and the Fischler School of Education and Human Services brought the concept of customer service and customer care to higher education.

  • Professors Lead Research Initiatives

    As a high school student in his native Mexico, one of Jacobo Konigsberg’s favorite classes was philosophy. He loved the age-old mysteries surrounding the nature of matter, time and space at the heart of cosmology and metaphysics. David Reitze had a different obsession: astronomy. From his parents’ home in Florida’s Pompano Beach, he scoured the heavens with a series of ever-more-sophisticated homemade telescopes. His largest and best measured four feet in length, with a headlight-sized mirror and the zany appearance of a ray gun.
