Session Descriptions and Topics

Leading for Innovation by
Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart, AC President

Institutions are challenged with initiative fatigue. Too often, colleges embrace a student success strategy that does not fundamentally change success data. To become a transformational institution, leaders must move beyond simply implementing initiatives - and create a culture and leaders to save higher education from itself.
