Some in higher education lack understanding around
budget and finance at their institution—where does the money come from,
and where does it go? As a result, staff are unaware of the campus
economic engines and the levers under their control to create more
sustainable business models. This need to open up the black box of
higher education finance becomes more urgent in light of institutional
responses to COVID-19. At this workshop, learn best practices from the
field, including sustainable business models behind academic portfolios,
student success initiatives, and administrative services. These best
practices will be discussed within the framework of return on investment
(ROI). Finally, participants will be exposed to approaches for creating
action plans to move from the immediate response to COVID-19 to a
longer-term, sustainable shared future vision.
Sessions will take place on September 16, 23, and 30 from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m ET.
