Beyond the Buzzword: How to Turn Curiosity into Credible Research
In the competitive world of college admissions, “research” has become a major buzzword. But here is the reality: Not all research is equal.
Many students start with a topic they are curious about, but few know how to transform that curiosity into the kind of high-impact results that admissions officers at top-tier universities actually respect. To help students navigate this complex landscape, Summit Institute is proud to host a free, exclusive webinar featuring a leading voice in academic innovation.
Meet Our Guest Speaker: Dr. Mario Khreiche
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Mario Khreiche, an Assistant Professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College.As an expert in AI, digital transformation, and the “platformization” of education, Dr. Khreiche brings a unique, interdisciplinary perspective to the table. With a Ph.D. in Political and Cultural Thought, he understands exactly how the intersection of technology and academic labor is reshaping higher education today.
