As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes hiring, curricula, and the value of a college degree, journalists are hungry for credible academic voices who can speak to the moment with real authority. Molloy University Professor Alexander Chan, PhD, has become exactly that source. The team at prSuade has recently secured media placements across both Forbes and Long Island Business News, ensuring this message reached valuable and familiar audiences close to home and folks nationwide. Professor Chan’s perspective is grounded in two decades of Big Tech experience before having entered the classroom. His core argument, that AI raises the stakes for higher education rather than diminishing it, greatly resounded with editors who have been covering the future of work and learning. Professor Alexander Chan, Molloy University prSuade reached out to media with this core argument of Professor Chan’s. This framing of AI as not hindering but helping education continued the ripple effect of this resonance. Forbes featured Professor Chan—twice—in nationally distributed pieces on what colleges must do to stay relevant. One notably timely piece followed the Pope’s Encyclical surrounding AI. Long Island Business News tapped Professor Chan (again, twice) as a local thought leader and included a dedicated profile of his work at Molloy’s Leon Hess Business School. The coverage includes: Forbes: What AI Can’t Do for Students, and What Colleges Must Do (April 2026) Long Island Business News: Molloy University Professor Rethinking Higher Education and AI (April 2026) Forbes: Pope Leo XIV, AI, and the Future of Higher Education (May 2026) Long Island Business News: Long Island Colleges Embrace AI Amid Tech Layoffs (May 2026) This media coverage reflects a broader positioning effort around Molloy’s Business School, demonstrating that its faculty bring not just academic credentials, but genuine industry depth to one of the defining conversations of our time.
