Episode 21: How TESU Is Getting Ahead of AI Before It Gets Ahead of Us
At Thomas Edison State University, staying ahead of the curve isn't just a goal — it's built into the curriculum. In this episode of Edison Sound Stage, course mentor Crystal Sands and David Schwager, Director of Assessment Development, explore how TESU is integrating AI literacy into its living curriculum, starting with SOS-1100: Fact, Fiction, or Fake? Information Literacy Today — a required course for every undergraduate student at the university. From hands-on assignments that challenge students to question everything AI produces, to a new one-credit elective, TES-1110: AI Unlocked, TESU is building a three-tiered framework that takes students from basic AI exposure all the way to real competency — no matter their field of study. It's a conversation about what it truly means to be AI literate, and why the students who learn to question AI may be the most valuable people in any room.

Episode 20: Solving the Nursing Shortage with BAYADA Founder Mark Baiada
The United States is short roughly 150,000 nurses — and the gap is growing. In this episode of Edison Sound Stage, we sit down with Mark Baiada, founder and chairman of BAYADA Home Healthcare, to explore how a 50-year legacy of compassionate care is now reshaping how nurses are trained. Mark and his wife Ann — a retired registered nurse — co-founded BAYADA Education, a nonprofit launching an innovative accelerated BSN program in partnership with Thomas Edison State University (TESU) and Cooper University Healthcare. It's a model built to produce floor-ready nurses, faster — with intensive one-on-one clinical training, conditional job offers from Cooper before graduation and leadership development built in from day one.
