Conference Presentations

Feel the pulse of change in higher education beating a little faster? External trends that initially seem unrelated to education?political polarization, climate change resiliency, mass customization?can cause disruption and uncertainty within the structural and physical campus environment. This panel of researchers and futurists will illustrate how anticipation, agility, and thoughtful planning fosters flexibility, adaptation, and success for colleges and universities. Join our workshop to engage in dynamic brainstorms and discover how you can advocate for impactful responses to current trends, ensuring that your campus is prepared for tomorrow.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Describe the trends that may radically impact the future of higher education and their potential to influence how institutions plan, build, teach, and conduct research.
2. Identify the internal strengths and weaknesses of your institution and explain how these differentiators leave it vulnerable or advantaged relative to its peers.
3. Engage peer institutions in collaborative responses to these trends and their impact on campus communities' instructional, social, and physical structures.
4. Advocate for agile, strategic responses to changing external forces that differentiate institutions from their peers while still serving the mission, vision, and core values of the institution.
