President Dr. Mary Hawkins joins host Fred Uhe to take a look back at the first 60 and what is in store for the future. BU is a National and international leader in online education, they discuss the development of these programs, and their corporate and military partnerships. \nInternational students are welcomed at Bellevue and it’s interesting how the community embraces them and the students embrace the American culture. \nNo discussion on Bellevue would be complete without talking Bruin athletics. Many of their programs are nationally ranked and they are adding men’s and women’s wrestling for the 26-27 school year. Higher education is facing many challenges, so tune in and learn how Bellevue is preparing to meet those. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LKhxgdylivLdjdbPUcdJ-pISbXLDVaFdurL4MAYDslU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZTZm/MGE3OTNkMDliMDVl/YzI5YmIyN2ViYWFm/NmFmMC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
