Reflecting the Communities We Serve and the Society We Aspire to Build
By: Elizabeth Paul
In this session, we will broaden our view into the future and explore higher education's role over the long term as a critical agent of social progress.

In this session, we will broaden our view into the future and explore higher education's role over the long term as a critical agent of social progress. As we plan for the future, what should we consider to ensure higher education institutions continue to be effective catalysts for the intelligence, ingenuity, and humanity that are critical to social progress?
