Grow With Us

This episode of Grow With Us features Eric James Stephens, entrepreneur and PhD in Rhetoric, Communication, and Information Design. Eric is a passionate and dedicated educator committed to creating a technology solution to the ever-growing demands of professors/teachers/lecturers. In his research and experience in teaching, countless hours of educators’ time can be spent on teaching, or re-teaching, subject matter that is outside their purview or speciality, which ultimately limits the opportunity to provide valuable feedback to students who are eager to learn from subject matter experts. In this episode, Eric and Evan discuss artificial intelligence’s role in higher education, Eric’s Builders and Backer’s project called Project Rhizome where students can submit college’s essays for a chance to win $500, and how the Tulsa entrepreneurial community is supporting Eric’s vision and journey to create a technology solution.
