Our Team & Mission

At the Office of Digital Education, we're reimagining what online learning can be. Our team brings together creativity, technology, and teaching excellence to deliver world-class digital education experiences at Michigan Ross.

Our Mission

Elevating Digital Education

What began as a response to growing demand for online learning has evolved into a collaborative effort that drives innovation in teaching. We are proud to support programs like the Michigan Ross Online MBA, ranked #2 in the world by Poets&Quants, and to bring together a team of creative professionals-including learning designers, filmmakers, media producers, and broadcast experts--who elevate education bevond traditional boundaries.

"Partner with faculty to: design, produce, and deliver engaging, impactful learning experiences that achieve real results. Together, we're elevating what online education can be."
