Even as higher ed contends with a growing number of challenges, many college leaders feel optimistic. Why? Because, they say, their campuses’ response to the Covid-19 pandemic opened the door to changes that can better prepare their institutions for the future.

Join us for our annual Chronicle Festival where we’ll discuss these changes and share advice about how colleges can bring their campuses together to achieve their goals. This exclusive in-person event will gather a small group of college leaders and senior administrators for an afternoon of insightful sessions and peer networking.

How can presidents, provost, deans, and senior administrators be responsive to students?
What’s needed to rethink institutional structures and strategies to achieve innovation?
What does it take to build a truly inclusive campus?
