A five-hour workshop immediately following the Institute offered additional ways to increase financial resources, looking beyond fundraising and tuition from the current student populations. The workshop featured presidents who shared their institutional experiences in partnerships, new programs for new markets, and new uses of institutional assets such as land or facilities. Rev. Michael Sheeran, SJ, described the 25-year growth of the School of Professional Studies at Regis University (CO) to serve adults (now numbering 13,000) through an accelerated degree program, adding distance education, a for-profit component offering corporate training, and outreach to other institutions along the way. William Crouch explored the revenue generation possibilities in Georgetown College’s (KY) seven-year partnership with the Cincinnati Bengals professional football team, which holds its training camp at the College. In addition, Lesley University’s (MA) Margaret McKenna discussed weekend programs as well as collaborations with other organizations to offer new educational programs, and Paul LeBlanc of Southern New Hampshire University shared information about its long-standing distance education program (2,500 FTE). |
