Three College Presidents on Cogeneration, Innovation and Higher Ed’s Bottom Line

Описание: Higher education is at a turning point. Changing conditions – demographic shifts, evolving learner needs, declining enrollments, and financial instability – are forcing leaders to rethink the very role colleges and universities play.

What if the future of higher education isn’t just about serving traditional students but about creating campuses where people of all ages learn, work and thrive together? Could this vision of higher education meet our changing needs as a society while also restoring higher education’s bottom line?

In this Big Ideas Forum, co-sponsored by Campus Compact, the presidents of Bennington, Goucher, and the Pacific School of Religion will explain how they’re adopting cogeneration — aka intergenerational collaboration — as a strategy for change. These bold thinkers will explore what it takes to reimagine colleges and universities as hubs of innovation and belonging, where generations come together to drive economic opportunity, lifelong learning and sustainability.

Join us for this free, one-hour webinar. You’ll learn:

How intergenerational innovation can help higher ed institutions reimagine relevance, revenue and resilience.

What a bold institutional redesign could look like, from new policies to new infrastructure.

Steps you can take to influence higher ed institutions in your life and community.
