Fierce Education Leader Spotlight: Gerri Hinkel, Aruba

Fierce Education Head of Content Elliot Markowitz recently spoke with Gerri Hinkel, Director, Solutions & Vertical Marketing, Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, regarding the current state of the higher education market, what to expect in this new blended learning environment and how Aruba is working with colleges and universities on their bandwidth and connectivity solutions.

During the interview, Hinkel discussed:

How the past two years accelerated the need for universities and colleges to  embrace new/innovative ways to engage students.

The biggest challenges still facing higher education in terms of engaging students, specifically as it relates to accessibility and connectivity.

How Aruba has worked with higher education institutions to ensure student engagement improves while also making it easier for faculty to connect.

What we can expect to see from Aruba moving forward in working with higher education institutions to continue to support their connectivity needs in this blended learning environment.
