Navigating (Un)certainty in Higher Education: Proactive Strategies to Drive Institutional Agility

Given the current complex and ever-changing political landscape, colleges and universities cannot afford to sit back and wait to see what happens—they must proactively prepare.  

Huron and campus chief business officers will team up for a lively discussion that addresses governmental directives and threats. Brett Dalton, principal, and Rick Rohrbach, managing director, Huron, will present a framework designed to help institutions understand financial exposures and provide strategies to prioritize response efforts with agility as a key desired outcome.

Also during the webinar, Lee Smith, managing director, Huron, will facilitate a discussion with Nichol Luoma, executive vice chancellor for administration and chief administrative officer, Washington University, and  Dr. Dan Layzell, vice president for finance and operations and treasurer,  University of Alabama. The three will share insights and recommendations for navigating today’s emerging challenges. You will learn the specific steps their institutions have taken as well as practical advice and examples that you can use as you work to tackle these same issues.
