AI in Education

Pennon and Always Lancaster

(00:00:00)

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Leamor Kahanov, higher‑education leader with 25+ years of experience as a provost, dean, and academic strategist. She joins us to discuss the same topic originally planned for Dr. Gaetan Giannini: how colleges can responsibly integrate AI into existing majors—and why an AI major isn’t always the smartest path. Drawing on comparisons to the early internet era, we explore why AI works best when embedded across disciplines, enhancing—rather than replacing—students’ core areas of study.

We also break down one of the region’s biggest media developments: the transfer of LNP/LancasterOnline from Pennon to Always Lancaster. Interim President & CEO Tom Baldridge and Journalist David Greene share what this change means for local journalism, community trust, and the future of independent news in Central Pennsylvania.
