Yasith Weerasuriya explores how learning must evolve to meet the demands of a fast-changing workforce demographic. As President of Stanbridge University, he leads one of the largest producers of nursing graduates in California. Stanbridge is recognized in the 2025 Carnegie Classifications as an Opportunity College—a distinction awarded to institutions advancing underrepresented student access, strong career outcomes, and economic mobility—and is ranked in the top 5% of U.S. colleges for 10-year return on investment (ROI) by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce.
Under Yasith’s leadership, Stanbridge has become a nationally recognized healthcare university, integrating cutting-edge technologies like VR, robotics, and synthetic cadavers to elevate both learning and patient care.
As the founder of Edverum, Yasith is advancing the development of supercognition—the mental agility, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in an AI-augmented world. Edverum’s AI-powered tools are designed to meet the learning preferences of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, delivering adaptive, multimodal content that accelerates mastery and deepens understanding.
Yasith’s commitment to impact extends beyond education. Through Stanbridge’s outREACH program, he has led efforts in food security, literacy and environmental sustainability—including the successful planting of 10,000 trees across California wildfire zones.
