On this episode of Higher Ed Pulse, host Mallory Willsea sits down with John Carrere, Director of Recruitment and First-Year Experience at Pitt Community College, to unpack the sweeping AI Education for American Youth executive order. As the White House pivots to an "America First" AI policy, the directive mandates K–12 and colleges to integrate AI without offering new funding or infrastructure. Carrere brings a boots-on-the-ground perspective, exploring what this means for real institutions, students, and overworked staff. This episode offers a candid and insightful look into how community colleges are adapting quickly, creatively—and often under-resourced—to meet AI demands.
