VIRTUAL COFFEE TALK

Building a Student Portfolio: Tools for Future Employment

 Presented by Dr. Ryan Gordy

Dr. Ryan Gordy built his career around coalescing academic research with private sector direction. After completing a Doctorate in Computer Science, he furthered his professional career as a consultant and big data expert. Today, Dr. Gordy has launched research efforts at Pepperdine University into organizational change and leadership with an emphasis on understanding how organizations navigate disruptive technological changes. He spreads his time between teaching, working in the industry, and publishing/presenting academic works in journals and conferences. As a data fanatic and futurist, his work at large advocates for the ethical and equitable integration of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and robotics-led automation strategies.

SSU’s Virtual Coffee Talks is a 2021 initiative from the Academic Affairs Office with the purpose of bringing together faculty and students from different backgrounds and interests within the University. At each meeting, a faculty member presents their recent work in progress, such as research or other critical-thinking concepts, in an informal, constructive atmosphere. These meetings yield valuable feedback for the presenters, while also informing the participants about critical research or other ideas and concepts being explored and discussed in today’s society.

Please note that the University will not record these meetings and participants will be able to choose their video on or off.
