Description

How do we dismantle the current negative narrative about higher education generally and the unique concerns on our individual campuses specifically? As we think through what is demanded of us on our campuses, in our regions and nationally, what is the story we would like to tell about our work and how our sector is constitutive to democracy and the American dream? How do we engage in and utilize design thinking to take back to our campuses what we have learned and prepare to lead toward success for all students?
