Albizu University Chancellor Dr. Yianni Vassiliou joined host Fara Sax for an episode of The Community Voice, a video interview series produced by Miami’s Community Newspapers. The conversation covers the university’s 60th anniversary and its growth in behavioral science education.
The discussion touches on new interdisciplinary academic programs, the Goodman Center and the university’s community services. Vassiliou also described pathways that take students from undergraduate study through to doctoral degrees.
Vassiliou spoke about how the school combines human compassion with emerging technology, including artificial intelligence, and the ethical questions that come with it. Affordability, scholarships and partnerships with employers were also on the agenda.
The episode is aimed at prospective students and families in Miami-Dade County who are weighing a degree in behavioral health and related fields. The program is part of a series that the producers say will feature more community leaders in the county.
