The complete 2020-2021 President to President thought leadership series is now available to download here. This year’s book, titled “Fostering a Culture of Innovation,” features unique ideas and creative approaches to the myriad challenges higher education institutions now face, many of which were once considered unimaginable. It re-examines what it means to be truly innovative, especially in times of crisis and recovery.
For more than a year, the world has had to rapidly adapt to a barrage of changes and overcome countless challenges. Higher education has been no exception. This edition of President to President contains unique insights from 10 college and university presidents, who share the creative approaches their institutions are using to navigate this complex new landscape. From shifting to digital learning and working with corporate partners to finding inspiration in the institution’s core mission and embracing opportunities for change, these esteemed industry leaders are at the forefront of an evolution in higher education.
We would like to thank each of the authors for contributing their perspectives on these important topics. Each chapter of President to President offers ideas for leveraging the ongoing changes in higher education and using them as tools for sustained achievement and success.
We hope you enjoyed this year's series and found value in the creative strategies that you can apply to challenges on your own campus. We're already working on next year's President to President series, which will focus on the vitality and power of higher education.
Have a wonderful summer, and look for the next President to President series coming this fall.
Sincerely,
