Innovating and Adapting to Address Today’s Higher Education Challenges
America’s universities and colleges are being challenged to improve educational attainment, while also facing declining public support and increasing income inequality. Improving educational attainment requires that leaders in higher education experiment, pursue new approaches, and work together with colleagues inside and beyond our institutions in creative ways.
At the Next Wave 2017, we will convene leaders from academic libraries, publishing, technology, and higher education to reflect on innovations and collaborations happening across higher education and on how our existing frameworks must continue to adapt to address higher education’s overarching challenge: getting more people educated at lower cost. What can we learn from what’s working and what’s not? How do our existing frameworks need to adapt? What other barriers must be overcome for new approaches to take hold? Are there success stories worth championing and adopting at your institutions?
