The new year is often a time for reflection and looking back. But on the latest episode of On Campus Radio, we'll be looking forward at what issues the world of higher education is facing.

First, we'll review what stories you may have missed, from a lawsuit levied against Betsy DeVos by one of the nation's largest teachers unions to updates on the Varsity Blues case.

Then, we'll have an in-depth conversation with Helen Drinan, the current president of Simmons University, who will be stepping down at the end of the semester. She'll talk about the issues facing higher education, including how institutions can remain credible to the public and how schools can make the experience better for students.

Then, we'll take a look at college athletics. We'll take another look at how states student-athletes may be getting more rights to their name, image and likeness and what that means for college sports.

We'll then hear from Joseph Cooper from UMass Boston who will give insight into how he thinks this and other topics will play out in college athletics over the coming years.

You'll hear all that and more on this month's episode of On Campus Radio.
