New Center for the Creator Economy

[GrowTheGame]

This new school is a joint venture between Newhouse & Whitman that offers students access & insights for the creator economy/industry.

Not to be bullish, but with the recruitment battles these days does this position Cuse to be more competitive against the traditional top academic schools for the kids trying to make it into that biz? I’m trying not to get too excited, but this move feels like the days where we could attract top athletes looking to get into broadcasting through Newhouse.

Thoughts? Am I overthinking and wearing rose colored glasses?

You are on to something. SU gets a bad rap when it comes to academics. Programs in the Information School, Maxwell, Newhouse and Whitman consistently rank very high. Yes, some degree programs rank even higher than equivalent programs in the Ivies. If I were counseling a student who is interested in the information field, I'd send them to the School of Information Studies, which consistently ranks in the top 5 in the country. We have a tendancy to believe the positive marketing of other schools, while we run down our own. As a faculty member that works on research with colleagues from these so called better institutions, I can say with conviction that SU and its faculty are as good or better. We just don't market our successes.
