About the Institute

The 2022 Institute for Chief Academic Officers with Chief Financial and Chief Enrollment Officers will provide participants with the opportunity to engage with colleagues on timely and practical questions. After three years of an unpredictable pandemic that has tested everyone, we are ready to move forward with hope and bold optimism. This optimism is based on the core belief that collectively we can achieve much more than the sum of our individual efforts to support our students and advance independent higher education.

What is so central to institutional excellence that it must be carried tenaciously into the future?
What practices build confidence and deep collaboration within leadership teams and across key constituencies?
How do leaders and leadership teams judiciously balance tenacity with innovation and flexibility to move their campuses forward?

Institutional and student success depend on effective teamwork among chief academic, financial, and enrollment officers. Working together, they align academic programs, business models, and student goals for sustainable and mission-centered excellence. This Institute will provide teams of campus leaders with ample opportunities to work together on specific institutional priorities. It will also offer occasions for them to network with counterparts at similar institutions to exchange examples, share good practices, and assess lessons learned.

A recent survey of CIC members showed that the top concerns of presidents and chief academic officers are financial sustainability; diversity, equity, and inclusivity; and using data to increase institutional effectiveness. This year’s Institute will feature sessions and tracks that explore how chief academic, financial, and enrollment officers can collaborate to advance each of these pressing priorities.

Join colleagues from across independent higher education at the Institute for inspiration and community. Participants will return to campus refreshed and energized to advance their institution’s top priorities—as tenacious, confident, and forward-looking leaders.

Who Should Participate?

In 2022, the Institute for Chief Academic Officers welcomes chief financial and chief enrollment officers. CIC is partnering with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and the National Association of College and University Business Officers. Cabinet-level officers who lead the academic affairs, finance and administration, and enrollment management areas at their institutions are eligible to attend regardless of their specific titles.

Special pre-Institute workshops for new chief academic officers and for those in their third or fourth years of service will be of special interest to participants in those cohorts.

To encourage teambuilding, discounted fees are available to institutions that send multiple participants.

CIC membership is not required for registration; however, only independent college and university administrators may participate.

Health and Safety

Updated September 16, 2022

All participants in the 2022 Institute are expected to be fully up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines as defined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) standard on October 3, 2022. Participants should expect to be asked to acknowledge this policy and attest to their vaccination status when they register online; later they will be asked to submit vaccine verification. Please read through the below FAQs for more information.

When are participants “fully up to date” on their COVID-19 vaccines?
As defined by the CDC, people are up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines when they have received all doses in the primary series and the most recent booster dose recommended by the CDC. Vaccine recommendations are different depending on a person’s age, the vaccine first received, and time since the last dose, but for most people the “most recent booster dose” recommended is the updated Pfizer or Moderna (bivalent) booster. Individuals can reference the CDC website to determine if they are currently fully up to date.

Is fully up to date different than fully vaccinated?
Yes. As defined by the CDC, fully vaccinated means a person has received their primary series of COVID vaccines. Fully up to date means a person has received their primary series of vaccines AND the most recent booster recommended for them, when eligible.

What criteria will CIC use to assess fully up-to-date status?
To provide the best possible chance for a safe gathering, for the Institute to be held November 5–8, 2022, CIC will use the CDC recommended vaccine protocol as of October 3, 2022, as the basis for assessment for the vaccine verification process. Please note the protocol as of October 3 may be different than it is now, and being fully up to date at the time of registration may not mean qualifying for participation in the Institute. Should CDC guidance change on October 4 or after, CIC will encourage participants to become fully up to date before the Institute but will not require it.

When and how will participants be asked to verify their vaccine status?
Approximately one month before the Institute, participants will be asked to upload their vaccine records to an online confidential, third-party, vaccine verification portal. Detailed instructions will be provided at that time.

Is pre-event COVID-19 testing required?
No. Pre-event testing is not required for fully up-to-date participants, but CIC recommends that participants test in advance of the Institute.

Does CIC make exceptions to the policy?
Individuals who are medically unable to be vaccinated or boosted may seek a medical exception to the vaccine policy. For more information, please contact Tabitha Truscott, CIC conference and program manager, at ttruscott@cic.edu.

Boxed Lunches with Discussion Groups	Boxed Lunches with Discussion Groups	88			<em>Sponsored by TIAA</em><br><br>Boxed lunches will be provided for all Institute participants. <br> <br>Roundtable discussion groups will provide opportunities to gain practical advice from colleagues. Discussion facilitators will be experienced colleagues with insight to offer on each topic. <br> <br> <h3>Academic Recovery Practices for Student Success </h3>What policies and practices are CIC institutions putting in place to “catch” and support students, especially first-year and first-generation students, who are struggling to make the transition to college or to recover from a challenging start? Participants are invited to exchange information and to seek advice about programs and other strategies that promote student academic success and persistence to graduation.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Tynisha Willingham</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Chief Academic Officer, Mary Baldwin University<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Building Relationships with HBCUs to Promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion</h3>Lane College, one of seven HBCUs in Tennessee, has partnered with a majority-white university on innovative diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, including joint courses co-taught by faculty members from both institutions and a grant-funded faculty development program on culturally sensitive pedagogy. Lane’s chief academic officer will facilitate a conversation about the process of building the relationship, obstacles that were overcome, and the mutual benefits that have resulted. Participants are invited to ask questions and seek advice about how to develop similar partnerships.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Daryll Coleman</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Lane College<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>CIC-TEP: A Benefit to Support Your Employees and Their Families</h3>Help your employees and their families meet their educational goals by participating in CIC-TEP. Learn about how this benefit program works and how your employees can receive free tuition for their spouses and children at select institutions. With more than 400 participating schools, CIC-TEP can play an important role in recruiting and retaining talented employees who share your commitment to independent higher education. <br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Faith Brown</em></strong>, Tuition Exchange and Programs Manager, CIC <br> <strong> <em>Jo Ellen Parker</em></strong>, Senior Vice President, CIC<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Dealing with Faculty and Staff Burnout </h3>Faculty and staff burnout remains a pressing issue on many college and university campuses. How are senior leaders at CIC institutions addressing the problem? What new policies and programs are being enacted to help faculty and staff members prioritize self-care and restore work-life balance? Participants in this conversation will address these questions and share effective practices for creating a campus culture of support. <br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Danette Ifert Johnson</em></strong>, Provost, Kalamazoo College <br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Federal Grant Support for Expanding Recruitment and Strengthening Retention: A Review of Opportunities for 2023</h3>Student enrollment and retention are at the top of mind for executive leadership at small and mid-sized liberal arts colleges, most of whom depend on tuition revenue as essential to their financial sustainability. McAllister & Quinn has identified the key federal grants in 2023 that fund recruitment and retention initiatives on college campuses. Their team will share intelligence on recommendations from federal funding sources that include the National Science Foundation, Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Department of Education.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Frank Boyd</em></strong>, Vice President, McAllister & Quinn<br><strong><em>Jessica Gerrity</em></strong>, Senior Vice President, McAllister & Quinn<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Foster a Culture of Belonging, Campus-wide: CIC’s new “BELONG” Community</h3>CIC and the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) recently launched “BELONG: The CIC & ACUE Inclusive Learning Community.” This new network—exclusive to CIC—responds to members’ desire to strengthen campus cultures with inclusive practices. BELONG members will have the opportunity to credential both faculty and staff through ACUE’s new offering “Fostering a Culture of Belonging.” This course, with related webinars and other resources, prepares professors and non-instructors to manage potential biases, address imposter phenomenon and stereotype threat, and reduce microaggressions among other practical approaches. CIC developed this initiative in recognition of ACUE’s national leadership on effective college instruction. Students taught by ACUE-certified faculty learn more, complete more courses, and retain in greater number, <em>with greater equity by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status</em>, national studies show. Join representatives from ACUE and CIC as they lead a conversation about this new course and network and share opportunities for member institutions to get involved. <br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Bacari K. Brown</em></strong>, Partnership Development Director, ACUE<br><strong><em>Laurie Pendleton</em></strong>, Executive Director, Curriculum and Assessment, ACUE<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>How Institutions Use Data to Drive Enrollment</h3>Data and its analysis allow campus leaders to better collaborate on decisions that help future-proof their institutions. For many tuition-dependent colleges and universities, keeping enrollment numbers up is crucial to their sustainability. Leaders often need to answer questions like, “How do I increase enrollment of the best-fit students?” “How are prospects progressing through the funnel?” and “What actions increase conversion rates?” Using data to answer these questions helps create recruitment strategies that enable institutions to increase net revenue and surpass enrollment goals. Join leaders from Berry College and Jenzabar for a roundtable discussion of how data drives enrollment.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Andrew Bressette</em></strong>, Vice President of Enrollment Management, Berry College<br><strong><em>Jaime Moquin</em></strong>, Vice President of Engagement and Customer Success, Jenzabar<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>International Student Recruitment and Enrollment as Meaningful Intervention Strategy</h3>As the enrollment downturn continues to affect America’s higher education sector, institutions must reiterate and promote their brand in an ever-competing landscape domestically and abroad. Working with independent agents is one path. Staffing up with local and international expertise is another but what’s cost effective and is there a middle ground toward improving enrollments with a more affordable and scalable approach? This discussion will focus on practical ways to plan and implement international strategy at your institution whether you are approaching this for the first time or just looking for an approach to augment your current success.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Darrin Francis</em></strong>, Director of Northern American Partnerships, Cialfo<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Knowledge for Freedom: Building Inspiring Humanities Programs for Underserved High School Students</h3>How can CIC member institutions engage underserved high school students in their local communities through rich humanities teaching? The Knowledge for Freedom program, funded by the Teagle Foundation, supports programs at liberal arts institutions that invite underserved high school students to college to study humanity’s deepest questions about leading lives of purpose and civic responsibility. These high school students come into residence on a college campus, where they experience the intensity of a seminar-sized discussion taught by college professors focused on major works of philosophy and literature. Over the following year, while applying to college as high school seniors, the students engage in civic initiatives inspired by the recognition that their lives are interconnected with the lives of others. In this roundtable discussion, participants will learn from leaders of a Knowledge for Freedom program at a CIC member institution about the process of designing these programs and their achievements so far. <br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Matthew Spring</em></strong>, Director of Academic Success and First Gen Initiatives, University of Dallas<br><strong><em>José Espericueta</em></strong>, Associate Professor of Spanish and Chair, Department of Modern Languages, University of Dallas<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Pioneering Chief Officers as Change Agents </h3>Susquehanna’s CAO and CEMO, who are the first persons of color in their respective roles at their university, will share insights from their experiences as institutional change agents, including how they set priorities, navigated minefields, and assessed progress on goals. They look forward to hearing the perspectives of other pioneering chief officers about their campus challenges and lessons learned about how to advance meaningful change. <br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>D.J. Menifee</em></strong>, Vice President for Enrollment, Susquehanna University<br><strong><em>Dave Ramsaran</em></strong>, Provost and Dean of Faculty, Susquehanna University<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Student-Centered Resources for Improving Undergraduate Success</h3>Student success depends upon a multitude of factors, but chief among them are the institutional resources that students experience directly. By devoting adequate human and financial resources to student-centered programming, academic institutions can improve their capacity to attain retention and graduation goals. Join this roundtable to discuss how programs focused on mentoring, internships, and students’ specific interests and cohorts (athletics, community engagement, or the arts) have made a real difference in helping students succeed. This session will also provide an opportunity to learn about new ways of financing this kind of programming through grants administered by CIC’s Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE).<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>David S. Cunningham</em></strong>, Director of NetVUE, CIC<br><strong><em>Remylin Bruder</em></strong>, Provost, Rochester University (MI)<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Supporting Historically Underrepresented Students through OER </h3>With grant support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, CIC recently published a report on the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) at CIC member institutions. The report, <cite>Access and Innovation: The Use of OER at Smaller Independent Colleges and Universities to Support Historically Underrepresented Students</cite>, provides a snapshot of the OER landscape in this sector. Featuring case studies of minority-serving institutions who have developed robust use of OER on their campuses, the report illustrates several ways that integrating OER into the curriculum can be a successful strategy to support institutional goals. The facilitator will share insights from the report on the use of OER at these institutions, and participants are invited to discuss their experiences and raise questions about implementing OER at their own institutions.<br> <blockquote><strong><em>Annika Many</em></strong>, Principal, edBridge Partners, LLC <br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Understanding Today’s Graduate and Online Student: Seizing Opportunities for Enrollment and Revenue Growth</h3>As the graduate and online markets evolve, campuses face new challenges and complexities bringing new programs to life, onboarding and integrating new tech, increasing activity and measuring engagement, and proving ROI from marketing and admissions investments. In this roundtable session, RNL’s chief academic officer explores how program and course design choices, utilizing sound pedagogical practices, innovative technologies, and authentic assessments will maximize students' engagement and performance.<br> <blockquote><strong><em>Cherron Hoppes</em></strong>, Chief Academic Officer, RNL</blockquote>

CIC’s Presidential Vocation and Institutional Mission Program	CIC’s Presidential Vocation and Institutional Mission Program	99			<p><span><span>CIC’s Presidential Vocation and Institutional Mission program is designed for senior administrators—and their spouses or partners—who are considering whether to seek a presidency. The program helps participants clarify their calling to serve, explore the rich diversity of colleges and university missions with an eye towards the type of mission that best aligns with the unique attributes they bring, and considers how this alignment fosters effective presidential leadership. Over one third of past participants have gone on to serve in presidencies, and many others have advanced in meaningful ways in their own college/university or at another institution. Participants will learn about the structure of the year-long program and the nomination process for the 2023–2024 cohort and will have ample time to ask questions.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Christon Arthur</em></strong>, Provost, Andrews University <br> <strong> <em>Titilayo Ufomata</em></strong>, Senior Vice President for Academic Programs, CIC <br></blockquote> </span></span></p>
Breakfast and Information Session on BELONG: A Community with Exponential Impact	Breakfast and Information Session on BELONG: A Community with Exponential Impact	99			Increasing retention, creating a sense of belonging for all students, and finding ways to demonstrate a commitment to diversity are top priorities for CIC members. With the launch of “BELONG: The CIC & ACUE Inclusive Learning Community”, CIC and the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) are combining proven practices and professional certifications together in a nationwide learning community for long-term impact on these core goals. This new network—exclusive to CIC and with a goal to benefit over 400,000 students—responds to CIC members’ desire to strengthen campus culture with inclusive practices and includes the opportunity to credential both faculty and staff through ACUE’s new offering “Fostering a Culture of Belonging” along with access to digital resources, webinars, and more. BELONG will begin in early Spring 2023, with registration opening this week. National studies show that students taught by ACUE-certified faculty learn more, complete more courses, and are retained in greater numbers, <em>with greater equity by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status</em>. All Institute participants are invited to this information session to learn more about the pedagogy and potential impact of the program, the benefits of community membership, and the timeline for CIC members to join. <br><blockquote><strong><em>Bacari K.

Foundational Workshops (repeated)	Foundational Workshops (repeated)	12		Workshop	These workshops will equip participants with the language and skills they need to respond to specific pressing issues on their campuses. The workshops are foundational in that they will outline best practices in nuanced language and take participants through the specific steps necessary to lead their campuses to implement well-conceived plans that respond to a specific challenge. Each workshop will be followed by concurrent sessions that delve more deeply into the topic. Participants are free to move between themes, stay with the same theme, or just choose any session of interest at any given time.<br><br><em>These workshops are free of charge and do not require pre-registration, but they have limited capacity. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.</em><br><br> <h3>Academic Programming for Financial Sustainability</h3>Academic program decisions are critical to future students, faculty, mission, and financials. How can campus leaders make sure they get them right? This session will describe best practices for evaluating markets for academic programs and will cover metrics on student demand, employment, and competition. It will describe how to estimate the effects of program decisions on an institution’s bottom line and will explore how to invest in programs that will increase enrollment and margins. The workshop also will address the impact of program choices on diversity, equity, and inclusion and share a model for estimating the cost of implementing an equitable student success initiative. Finally, participants will explore a simulator that demonstrates the impact of program decisions on budgeting and student success.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Robert Atkins</em></strong>, CEO and Founder, Gray Associates<br><strong><em>Colin Irvine</em></strong>, Provost and Executive Vice President, Augustana College<br></blockquote> <span> <span> <br> <h3>Collegiate Mental Health in the Past Decade: Recent Trends, the Impact of COVID-19, and Next Steps</h3>This workshop will review a brief history of the Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) and present the latest findings on trends in student mental health and the impact of COVID-19. The workshop will then examine widely documented increases in mental health problems and demand for counseling services over the past two decades. Finally, the presenter will explore implications pertaining to mental health resource allocation, multi-layered support options, and future directions for research. The CCMH at Penn State University is an international practice-research network of more than 700 colleges and universities whose mission is to bridge the gap between science and practice in college counseling centers. CCMH collects and analyzes de-identified data as part of the routine practice when students seek mental health treatment at colleges and universities. The information is used, in turn, to benefit college counseling centers, administrators, researchers, the public, and most importantly the students receiving services.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Brett E. Scofield</em></strong>, Executive Director, The Center for Collegiate Mental Health, Pennsylvania State University<br></blockquote></span></span><br> <h3>Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion</h3>The curricular modules presented in this workshop will provide participants with practical tools with which to evaluate institutional structures and create transformational change. Participants will explore a variety of equity-focused tools and concepts, including cultural humility and appreciative inquiry, and use them to assess institutional structure and culture. Specific modules will help participants to create strategies that centralize diversity, equity, and inclusion in institutional processes and structures. Other modules will address overcoming backlash and other forms of resistance to change. Upon completion of the modules, participants will have developed an individualized plan to address campuswide equity and inclusion needs.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Rodmon King</em></strong>, Dean of Institutional Equity and Inclusion, Connecticut College<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>The Intersection of Government and Politics on Your Campus</h3>While the private, nonprofit sector may identify as being independent of government, it is in fact more dependent on federal support for our institutions and students than perhaps ever before. At the same time, campus communities are deeply affected by the seismic political shifts happening in our nation. How can you successfully navigate this intersection and ensure that your campus recognizes today’s political landscape while maintaining effective relationships with your elected officials, students, faculty, and staff?<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Barbara K. Mistick</em></strong>, President, National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU)<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Using Data for Institutional Effectiveness</h3>This workshop will focus on the foundations of institutional effectiveness and how campus leaders can pause, reflect, evaluate, and innovate as institutional effectiveness practices are adapted to challenges higher education is facing now and into the future. Student success, retention, equity, and quality are at the forefront of conversations on many campuses and in higher education itself. Ways to engage campus-wide participation focused on these issues will continue to be part of larger strategic conversations as higher ed moves beyond this moment and onto other challenges that await.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Bethany Miller</em></strong>, Director of Institutional Research and Assessment, Macalester College</blockquote>

Learn how a small, tuition-dependent institution improved their budgeting process to not only include more faculty and staff in the process but ensure that the entire university budgets within its financial means each year.<br><blockquote><strong>Julee Gard</strong>, Vice President for Administration and Finance, University of St. Francis (IL)<br><strong>Beth Roth</strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, University of St. Francis (IL)<br><strong>Eric Wignall</strong>, Vice President for Admissions and Enrollment Services, University of St. Francis (IL)<br>Chair: <strong>Samir Datta</strong>, Vice President for Finance and Administration, Lawrence University<br></blockquote><br><h3>Developing Middle Talent: Connecting Key Leaders to Institutional Strategy and Vision<br></h3>Middle talent see and experience problems and inefficiencies at the ground level, but they aren’t usually invited to be part of the solution to those problems. While it’s critically important for cabinet leaders and the president to be aligned around institutional future, it’s the middle talent who can bring the perspective of how systems and culture impact students and faculty on a day-to-day basis. This panel discussion will explore connecting middle talent to mission and vision; developing their individual skills, passions, and strengths; and nurturing their change readiness and risk resilience.<br><blockquote><strong>Myriah Davis</strong>, Senior Consultant for Academic Strategies, Credo <br><strong>Joretta Nelson</strong>, Vice Chairman & Founder of MTN / Owner, Credo<br><strong>Alison Noble</strong>, Interim Provost, Messiah University<br><strong>Suzanne Blum Malley</strong>, Provost, Methodist University<br>Chair: <strong>Lori Werth</strong>, Provost, University of Pikeville<br></blockquote><br><h3>Identifying and Mentoring the Next Generation of Academic Leaders</h3>As the baby boom generation retires and the “great resignation” from academia proceeds, the need for academic leaders is great. This session will focus on how to identify all potential academic leaders within the faculty and staff, including those that may have historically been overlooked, offer them the encouragement and experiences necessary to prepare them for the role of Chief Academic Officer, and provide new CAOs with coaching and mentoring to help them succeed. Presenters will share their own paths to academic leadership and discuss the experiences they found most useful. <br><blockquote><strong><em>Susan R.

Deeds</em></strong>, Provost Emeritus, Morningside University<br></blockquote><br><h3>Improving Science Pedagogy on Your Campus</h3>Making science accessible to students has been a major challenge. To address this concern and enhance the effectiveness of science education, CIC held a series of Seminars on Science Pedagogy, funded by the W. M. Keck Foundation. In this session, participating campus team leaders will discuss the impact of the seminars on faculty members and students at their institutions and how that impact can be sustained and serve as a foundation for additional growth. Did implementing the new interactive methods or techniques in courses improve overall inclusivity and participation in class? Were faculty members more willing to discuss pedagogy challenges and innovations with colleagues? How can CAOs support and encourage faculty members who are trying new methods or techniques?<br><blockquote><strong><em>Amanda J. Brosnahan</em></strong>, Dean, College of Health and Science and Associate Professor of Biology, Concordia University, St. Paul<br><strong><em>Benjamin Harrison</em></strong>, Associate Professor of Biology, Concordia University, St. Paul<br><strong><em>Ian J.

Campbell</em></strong>, Provost and Senior Vice President, Albright College<br></blockquote><br><h3>Shared Governance and Institutional Change</h3>As numerous institutions move from a college to university model, and as the need to become nimbler and more responsive in management styles becomes more palpable and pressing, the more shared governance must evolve. This panel presents the example of an institution that has spent time reworking its shared governance model—moving from divisions to schools and a college—and is now working to develop faculty leaders who will operationalize the new system. The other presenter will talk about models for driving change within organizations, with special attention paid to shared governance.<br><blockquote><strong><em>Colin Irvine</em></strong>, Provost and Executive Vice President, Augustana University (SD)<br><strong>Nancy G.

Concurrent Sessions	Concurrent Sessions	5		Concurrent Session	<em>Sponsored by Metz Culinary Management</em><br> <div> <br> </div><h3>Attracting and Retaining a Student Population that Meets Academic, Enrollment, and Financial Needs</h3>Within independent higher education, institutions are unique in their missions, in who they serve, and how they program the educational experience for their students. It is essential to manage enrollment to ensure that enough tuition is generated to keep the institution in operation, particularly at institutions with smaller endowments and fewer avenues for generating revenue. This panel will discuss the importance of and examples of strategic collaboration between academic affairs, enrollment management, and business affairs working in alignment to attract and retain cohorts of students who can benefit from the academic program and generate the tuition required to run the institution.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Andrew R. Bressette</em></strong>, Vice President for Enrollment Management, Berry College<br><strong><em>Tina DeNeen</em></strong>, Associate Executive Director, Education and Member Development, American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers<br><strong><em>Cindy Marlow McClenagan</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Wayland Baptist University<br><strong><em>Brad Reeder</em></strong>, Assistant Vice President for Financial Services, Berry College<br> <div>Chair: <strong> <em>Mollie Cecere</em></strong>, Vice President for Enrollment Management and Marketing, Carlow University</div></blockquote> <br> <h3>Building a Culture of Transfer across the Institution: Lessons from Transfer Pathways Initiatives</h3>Transfer pathways are designed to provide community college transfer students with clear guidelines to achieve a baccalaureate degree in the field of their choosing. For these students to achieve their goals and thrive, they require multi-faceted support across admissions, advising, academic programs, and financial aid. In this session, two institutional teams will share their insights into building a strong culture of transfer on campus to complement the creation of new, discipline-specific transfer pathways. Both institutions are participants in Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts projects, jointly sponsored by the Teagle Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em></em></strong><strong><em>Jeff Frederick</em></strong>, Provost, Wingate University<br><strong><em>Melissa Perdue</em></strong>, Chief Financial Officer, Wingate University <br> <strong> <em>Marcy Ritzert</em></strong>, Vice President for Enrollment, Muskingum University<br>Chair: <strong> <em>Laura Furge</em></strong>, Provost, Muhlenberg College<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Continuous Transformation for Sustainable Business Models</h3>In dynamic and competitive environments, continuous transformation is necessary if institutions are to survive and flourish. Continuous innovation is required to move from old models of business to transformative models, but innovation is not a static, one-step process occurring in silos. A team of colleagues from an institution who work collaboratively will share how building a culture of continuous transformation can result in strong, sustainable business models. In this session, participants will engage in discussions to assess the systems and structures that impact its ability to embrace a transformation mindset and provide examples of strategies deployed in the continuous model that includes a tactical deployment of limited resources.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Judy Roy</em></strong>, Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, Indiana Institute of Technology<br><strong><em>Steve Herendeen</em></strong>, Vice President for Enrollment Management, Indiana Institute of Technology<br><strong><em>Kate Watland</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Indiana Institute of Technology<br>Chair: <strong> <em>Teresa Garrett</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, Sweet Briar College<br> </blockquote><div> <br> </div><h3>Cross-divisional Partnerships and Collaboration</h3>Institutions of higher education, like other organizations, have long recognized the importance of cross-divisional collaboration in achieving missions and goals. Collaboration produces a synergy that yields more, saves more, and achieves more. Yet, many campuses are full of examples of where this does not happen. In difficult economic times it becomes even more important that people work together across silos to ensure the institutions are efficiently deploying their resources. This panel will share examples of how institutions efficiently utilize cross-divisional partnerships for effective processes and solutions.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>Katherine Beutel</em></strong>, Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs, Lourdes University<br><strong><em>Kendrick T. Brown</em></strong>, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Morehouse College<br><strong><em>Undria Stalling</em></strong>, Senior Vice President of Business and Finance and Chief Financial Officer, Morehouse College<br>Chair: <strong> <em>Jeffrey Frick</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, Washington & Jefferson College<br></blockquote><div> <br> </div><h3>Introducing Badges, Microcredentials, and Certificates with Credit Bearing Programs<br></h3>How do campuses respond to the public cynicism about the value of a liberal arts education, especially as a pathway for career-readiness? And how do colleges prepare students for the future of work? A “liberal arts plus” program is designed to complement other high impact practices to make graduates market ready. Badges, microcredentials, and certificates provide an avenue for students to document the totality of their learning experience, including skills that do not fall neatly within majors. This panel will focus on how colleges can introduce workforce development and non-credit opportunities.<br> <blockquote> <strong><em>D. Nathan Phinney</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Northwestern College (IA)<br><strong><em>Eden Wales Freedman</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty, Clarke University<br><strong><em>Erica Vonk</em></strong>, Assistant Professor of Business and Director, Center for Innovation and Leadership, Northwestern College (IA)<br>Chair: <strong> <em>Karen Lee</em></strong>, Provost, Wheaton College</blockquote>

Foundational Workshops	Foundational Workshops	11		Workshop	These workshops will equip participants with the language and skills they need to respond to specific pressing issues on their campuses. The workshops are foundational in that they will outline best practices in nuanced language and take participants through the specific steps necessary to lead their campuses to implement well-conceived plans that respond to a specific challenge. Each workshop will be followed by concurrent sessions that delve more deeply into the topic. Participants are free to move between themes, stay with the same theme, or just choose any session of interest at any given time.<br><br><em>These workshops are free of charge and do not require pre-registration, but they have limited capacity. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Workshops will be repeated at 10:45 a.m.</em><br><br> <h3>Academic Programming for Financial Sustainability</h3>Academic program decisions are critical to future students, faculty, mission, and financials. How can campus leaders make sure they get them right? This session will describe best practices for evaluating markets for academic programs and will cover metrics on student demand, employment, and competition. It will describe how to estimate the effects of program decisions on an institution’s bottom line and will explore how to invest in programs that will increase enrollment and margins. The workshop also will address the impact of program choices on diversity, equity, and inclusion and share a model for estimating the cost of implementing an equitable student success initiative. Finally, participants will explore a simulator that demonstrates the impact of program decisions on budgeting and student success.<br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Robert Atkins</em></strong>, CEO and Founder, Gray Associates<br><strong><em>Colin Irvine</em></strong>, Provost and Executive Vice President, Augustana College<br></blockquote> <span><span><br> <h3>Collegiate Mental Health in the Past Decade: Recent Trends, the Impact of COVID-19, and Next Steps</h3>This workshop will review a brief history of the Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH) and present the latest findings on trends in student mental health and the impact of COVID-19. The workshop will then examine widely documented increases in mental health problems and demand for counseling services over the past two decades. Finally, the presenter will explore implications pertaining to mental health resource allocation, multi-layered support options, and future directions for research. The CCMH at Penn State University is an international practice-research network of more than 700 colleges and universities whose mission is to bridge the gap between science and practice in college counseling centers. CCMH collects and analyzes de-identified data as part of the routine practice when students seek mental health treatment at colleges and universities. The information is used, in turn, to benefit college counseling centers, administrators, researchers, the public, and most importantly the students receiving services.<br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Brett E. Scofield</em></strong>, Executive Director, The Center for Collegiate Mental Health, Pennsylvania State University<br></blockquote></span></span><br> <h3>Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion</h3>The curricular modules presented in this workshop will provide participants with practical tools with which to evaluate institutional structures and create transformational change. Participants will explore a variety of equity-focused tools and concepts, including cultural humility and appreciative inquiry, and use them to assess institutional structure and culture. Specific modules will help participants to create strategies that centralize diversity, equity, and inclusion in institutional processes and structures. Other modules will address overcoming backlash and other forms of resistance to change. Upon completion of the modules, participants will have developed an individualized plan to address campuswide equity and inclusion needs.<br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Rodmon King</em></strong>, Dean of Institutional Equity and Inclusion, Connecticut College<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>The Intersection of Government and Politics on Your Campus</h3>While the private, nonprofit sector may identify as being independent of government, it is in fact more dependent on federal support for our institutions and students than perhaps ever before. At the same time, campus communities are deeply affected by the seismic political shifts happening in our nation. How can you successfully navigate this intersection and ensure that your campus recognizes today’s political landscape while maintaining effective relationships with your elected officials, students, faculty, and staff?<br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Barbara K. Mistick</em></strong>, President, National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU)<br></blockquote> <br> <h3>Using Data for Institutional Effectiveness</h3>This workshop will focus on the foundations of institutional effectiveness and how campus leaders can pause, reflect, evaluate, and innovate as institutional effectiveness practices are adapted to challenges higher education is facing now and into the future. Student success, retention, equity, and quality are at the forefront of conversations on many campuses and in higher education itself. Ways to engage campus-wide participation focused on these issues will continue to be part of larger strategic conversations as higher ed moves beyond this moment and onto other challenges that await.<br> <blockquote> <strong> <em>Bethany Miller</em></strong>, Director of Institutional Research and Assessment, Macalester College</blockquote>

Yet the value of independent higher education, including our ability to engage students across differences, build strong communities, and ask fundamental questions, has never been more apparent. How can we position our campuses to meet the moment? This talk will present a strategic framework, raise essential questions, and offer examples from institutions that are successfully adapting to the shifting higher education ecosystem.

Concurrent Sessions	Concurrent Sessions	18		Concurrent Session	<em>Sponsored by EAB</em><br><br><h3>Cultivating Leadership Teams that Work Well Together</h3>This panel presents two successful models of intentionally cultivating leadership at different levels and among different groups on campus. Both have achieved remarkable success. One model describes a faculty leadership academy which has been in place for the past seven years. The presenter will share the central ingredients that have contributed to the success of the academy, and help others imagine how to develop or reshape a leadership program that best meets their institutions’ needs. The other model is a strategic enrollment council with participation from admissions, academic affairs, financial aid, student life, retention, marketing, athletics, student accounts, alumni/development, faculty, DEI, and IT participants. This model focuses on working across silos to find leaders who work well together for the benefit of the institution. Participants will leave with replicable examples of how to develop leaders who work well together.<br><blockquote><strong><em>Sarah Coen</em></strong>, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Enrollment Management, Transylvania University<br><strong><em>Wendy Hilton-Morrow</em></strong>, Provost, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Dean of the College, Augustana College (IL)<br>Chair: <strong><em>Monique Taylor</em></strong>, Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Champlain College<br></blockquote><br><h3>Examples of Forward-Looking Excellence</h3>This panel will showcase a diverse sample of forward-looking initiatives on campuses to provoke creative thinking. Examples will include programs for student development and preparation for post-graduation work life, intentionally planned cross-divisional collaborations, and faculty development. How did these programs start? How do they function? Are there drawbacks to these models? How replicable are they?<br><blockquote><strong><em>Karla McCain</em></strong>, Provost, Blackburn College<br><strong><em>Elaine Meyer-Lee</em></strong>, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Goucher College<br><strong><em>Wendy Sherman Heckler</em></strong>, Provost and Senior Vice President, Otterbein University<br>Chair: <strong><em>Jennifer Glowienka</em></strong>, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Carroll College<br></blockquote><br><h3>Inclusive Pedagogy/Inclusive Teaching</h3>As student populations become more diverse and campus leaders become more attentive to long neglected inequities, effective institutions are finding ways to make learner experience more equitable. Panelists will discuss the forms that inclusive pedagogy has taken on their campuses. What type of training do faculty receive? Are they rewarded for doing it right? What is the level of adoption on campuses? What challenges have proponents of this type of teaching faced?<br><blockquote><strong><em>Tracy S. Parkinson</em></strong>, Executive Vice President and Provost, Mars Hill University <br><strong><em>A. Gillian Stewart-Wells</em></strong>, Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Judson University<br>Chair: <strong><em>DeBrenna Agbenyiga</em></strong>, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Stonehill College<br></blockquote><br><h3>Integrating Planning and Budgeting to Enhance Equitable Student Outcomes </h3>As more institutions prioritize access, retention, and completion, there is a need to identify how institutions can strategically finance equitable student outcomes. This session will explore ways to reconsider campus planning and budgeting processes with a DEI lens, as well as how to build in strategies that prioritize equitable solutions. Panelists will share a potential framework to analyze the ROI linked to equity-based activities to ensure they are sustained and measured.<br><blockquote><strong><em>Jim Hundrieser</em></strong>, Vice President, Consulting and Business Development, NACUBO<br><strong><em>George Stiell</em></strong>, Senior Vice President for Business, Finance, and Strategic Retention, Wiley College<br>Chair: <strong><em>Joe Harnisch</em></strong>, Chief Financial Officer, Midland University<br></blockquote><br><h3>Retire Inequality: Creating Financial Wellness for All</h3>Benefit plans that focus solely on the needs of the majority can exacerbate existing inequalities and wealth gaps, leaving many employees unprepared for retirement and feeling left out. Recognizing this, progressive employers are taking a more nuanced approach to benefit plan design, one that accounts for diverse individual needs—based on life stages, financial situations, and personal preferences—and builds financial wellness for ALL employees. In this session, we will discuss what higher education leaders are doing to make their benefits more equitable and inclusive, and more attractive in a highly competitive marketplace for talent.<br><blockquote><strong><em>Diane Short</em></strong>, Managing Director, Partner Market Leader, TIAA<br><strong><em>Jenna Templeton</em></strong>, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Chatham University<br>Chair: <strong><em>Jamie Summerlin</em></strong>, Senior Director, Strategic Client Engagement, TIAA</blockquote>

View All Sessions

The below listing of sessions planned to date will be held on Sunday, November 6, or Tuesday, November 8. (The sessions on Monday, November 7, are aligned with the Foundational Workshop topics). As additional speakers and sessions are confirmed and as sessions are assigned to specific time slots, this website will be updated.

Attracting and Retaining a Student Population that Meets Academic, Enrollment, and Financial Needs

Within independent higher education, institutions are unique in their missions, in who they serve, and how they program the educational experience for their students. It is essential to manage enrollment to ensure that enough tuition is generated to keep the institution in operation, particularly at institutions with smaller endowments and fewer avenues for generating revenue. This panel will discuss the importance of and examples of strategic collaboration between academic affairs, enrollment management, and business affairs working in alignment to attract and retain cohorts of students who can benefit from the academic program and generate the tuition required to run the institution.

Andrew R. Bressette, Vice President for Enrollment Management, Berry College
Tina DeNeen, Associate Executive Director, Meetings and Partnerships, American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers
Cindy Marlow McClenagan, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Wayland Baptist University
Brad Reeder, Assistant Vice President for Financial Services, Berry College

Budgeting Within Our (Limited) Means: A CAO/CFO/CEMO Collaboration

The CAO/CFO/CEMO from University of St. Francis will share their institution’s journey from traditional, rigid operational planning exercises to a more transparent, robust workgroup/budget and planning committee model. Learn how a small, tuition-dependent institution improved their budgeting process to not only include more faculty and staff in the process, but ensure that the entire university budgets within its financial means each year.

Julee Gard, Vice President for Administration and Finance, University of St. Francis (IL)
Beth Roth, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, University of St. Francis (IL)
Eric Wignall, Vice President for Admissions and Enrollment Services, University of St. Francis (IL)

Building a Culture of Transfer across the Institution: Lessons from Transfer Pathways Initiatives

Transfer pathways are designed to provide community college transfer students with clear guidelines to achieve a baccalaureate degree in the field of their choosing. For these students to achieve their goals and thrive, they require multi-faceted support across admissions, advising, academic programs, and financial aid. In this session, two institutional teams will share their insights into building a strong culture of transfer on campus to complement the creation of new, discipline-specific transfer pathways. Both institutions are participants in Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts projects, jointly sponsored by the Teagle Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.

Nancy J. Evangelista, Provost, Muskingum University
Jeff Frederick, Provost, Wingate University
Melissa Perdue, Chief Financial Officer, Wingate University
Marcy Ritzert, Vice President for Enrollment, Muskingum University

Continuous Transformation for Sustainable Business Models

Innovation is not a one-step process. An experienced college president who is now a higher education financial consultant and a currently serving chief financial officer will share how building a culture of continuous transformation can result in strong, sustainable business models. In this structured session, participants will engage in a three-part exercise that includes an evaluation of their institution’s financial sustainability; assessment of the systems and structures in place that impact its ability to embrace a transformation mindset; and examples of strategies deployed in the continuous model that includes a tactical deployment of limited resources.

Arthur Snyder, President Emeritus, Indiana Institute of Technology, and Consultant, NACUBO Consulting

Cross-divisional Partnerships and Collaboration

Institutions of higher education, like other organizations, have long recognized the importance of cross-divisional collaboration in achieving missions and goals. Collaboration produces a synergy that yields more, saves more, and achieves more. And yet, many campuses are full of examples of where this does not happen. In difficult economic times it becomes even more important that people work together across silos to ensure the institutions are efficiently deploying their resources. This panel will share examples of how institutions efficiently utilize cross-divisional partnerships for effective processes and solutions.

Kendrick T. Brown, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Morehouse College
Terry M. Keller, Provost, Lourdes University
Undria Stalling, Senior Vice President of Business and Finance and Chief Financial Officer, Morehouse College

Cultivating Leadership Teams that Work Well Together

This panel presents two successful models of intentionally cultivating leadership at different levels and among different groups on campus. Both have achieved remarkable success. One model describes a faculty leadership academy which has been in place for the past seven years. The presenter will share the central ingredients that have contributed to the success of the academy, and help others imagine how to develop or reshape a leadership program that best meets their institutions’ needs. The other model is a strategic enrollment council with participation from admissions, academic affairs, financial aid, student life, retention, marketing, athletics, student accounts, alumni/development, faculty, DEI, and IT participants. This model focuses on working across silos to find leaders who work well together for the benefit of the institution. Participants will leave with replicable examples of how to develop leaders who work well together.

Sarah Coen, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Enrollment Management, Transylvania University
Wendy Hilton-Morrow, Provost, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Dean of the College, Augustana College (IL)

Developing Middle Talent: Connecting Key Leaders to Institutional Strategy and Vision

Middle talent see and experience problems and inefficiencies at the ground level, but they aren’t usually invited to be part of the solution to those problems. While it’s critically important for cabinet leaders and the president to be aligned around institutional future, it’s the middle talent who can bring the perspective of how systems and culture impact students and faculty members on a day-to-day basis. Connecting middle talent into the mission and vision of the institution while developing their individual skills, passions, and strengths is integral to not only employee fulfillment, but also to student success, retention, and culture change. This panel discussion will explore approaches to middle talent development at both organizational and institutional levels, identify key elements of focus in that development, and offer tools for engagement.

Examples of Forward-Looking Excellence

This panel will showcase a diverse sample of forward-looking initiatives on campuses to provoke creative thinking. Examples will include programs for student development and preparation for post-graduation work life, intentionally planned cross-divisional collaborations, and faculty development. How did these programs start? How do they function? Are there drawbacks to these models? How replicable are they?

Karla McCain, Provost, Blackburn College
Elaine Meyer-Lee, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Goucher College
Wendy Sherman Heckler, Provost and Senior Vice President, Otterbein University

Identifying and Mentoring the Next Generation of Academic Leaders

As the baby boom generation retires and the great resignation from academia proceeds, the need for academic leaders is great. This session will focus on how to identify all potential academic leaders within the faculty and staff, including those that may have historically been overlooked, offer them the encouragement and experiences necessary to prepare them for the role of Chief Academic Officer, and provide new CAOs with coaching and mentoring to help them succeed. Presenters will share their own paths to academic leadership and discuss the experiences they found most useful.

Susan R. Burns, President, College of Mount Saint Vincent
Graciela Caneiro-Livingston, Provost, Nebraska Wesleyan University
Christopher Spicer, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Morningside University
Alden Stout, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Newman University (KS)

Improving Science Pedagogy on Your Campus

Making science accessible to students has been a major challenge. To address this concern and enhance the effectiveness of science education, CIC held a Seminar on Science Pedagogy, funded by the W. M. Keck Foundation. In this session, participating campus team leaders will discuss the impact of the seminar on faculty members and students at their institutions and how that impact can be sustained and serve as a foundation for additional growth. Did implementing the new interactive methods or techniques in courses improve overall inclusivity and participation in class? Were faculty members more willing to discuss pedagogy challenges and innovations with colleagues? How can CAOs support and encourage faculty members who are trying new methods or techniques?

Amanda J. Brosnahan, Dean, College of Health and Science and Associate Professor of Biology, Concordia University, St. Paul
Eva Lovas, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Physics, Nebraska Methodist College
Ian J. Rhile, Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Albright College

Inclusive Pedagogy/Inclusive Teaching

As student populations become more diverse and campus leaders become more attentive to long neglected inequities, effective institutions are finding ways to make learner experience more equitable. Panelists will discuss the forms that inclusive pedagogy has taken on their campuses. What type of training do faculty receive? Are they rewarded for doing it right? What is the level of adoption on campuses? What challenges have proponents of this type of teaching faced?

Tracy S. Parkinson, Executive Vice President and Provost, Mars Hill University
A. Gillian Stewart-Wells, Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Judson University

Integrating Planning and Budgeting to Enhance Equitable Student Outcomes

As more institutions prioritize access, retention, and completion, there is a need to identify how institutions can strategically finance equitable student outcomes. This session will explore ways to reconsider campus planning and budgeting processes with a DEI lens, as well as how to build in strategies that prioritize equitable solutions. Panelists will share a potential framework to analyze the ROI linked to equity-based activities to ensure they are sustained and measured.

Jim Hundrieser, Vice President, Consulting and Business Development, NACUBO
George Stiell, Senior Vice President for Business, Finance, and Strategic Retention, Wiley College

Introducing Badges, Micro-credentials, and Certificates with Credit Bearing Programs

Higher education is in crisis and with the imminent demographic cliff, institutions are looking to expand access to non-traditional, non-degree-seeking students. Additionally, institutions are focusing on creating a pathway to career-readiness for students on their campuses. Badges and micro-credentials provide an avenue for students to document the totality of their learning experience, including skills that do not fall neatly within majors. This panel will showcase examples of how campuses have integrated these special credentials into their programs. One institution has done much in this area through partnerships with high schools, community colleges, and businesses. In addition, it has added stackable credentials, digital badging, PLA, and professional development programming. Another campus is engaging in interesting experimental work in this area. Panelists will talk about their successes and challenges.

D. Nathan Phinney, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Northwestern College (IA)
Eden Wales Freedman, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty, Clarke University

Shared Governance and Academic Freedom

As numerous institutions move from a college to university model, and as the need to become nimbler and more responsive in management styles becomes more palpable and pressing, the more shared governance must evolve. This panel presents the example of an institution that has spent time reworking its shared governance model—moving from divisions to schools and a college—and is now working to develop faculty leaders who will operationalize the new system. The other presenter will talk about driving change within shared governance and share models for success.

Colin Irvine, Provost and Executive Vice President, Augustana University (SD)
Nancy G. Schreiber, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Salve Regina University

The Library as a Shared Space Focused on Student Success

The library has long been considered the heart of the campus, and is now re-inventing that role to anticipate the changing needs of students. Building on traditional library strengths as a community center and collaborator, libraries are increasingly sharing spaces with academic success units, from career centers to peer tutoring services to information technology help desks. How can these departments retain their important individual identities and purposes, yet also fuse their services and energies to create an updated, dynamic approach to support student success? This session will explore potential benefits to these collaborative partnerships including as a tool for recruitment and cost-saving. Learn how to plan for a transition to a student success model in a library, and gain insight into best practices for enabling integration of academic success services among new building partners.

Third or Fourth Year CAOs

Workshop for Chief Academic Officers in Their Third or Fourth Year of Service

Saturday, November 5
7:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Entering the third or fourth year of service, chief academic officers usually have mastered the fundamentals of the role. At this stage, CAOs discover greater opportunities to lead rather than simply manage. What are the key questions CAOs can and should address at this stage in their careers? For example, how do CAOs balance attention to their institutions’ immediate issues with a focus on their long-term academic needs? How can CAOs attend to their own professional lives while also serving their institutions? How do CAOs work effectively with the president and other cabinet officers on strategic planning? Participants will explore these and related questions and gain fresh perspective on the next stage in their careers as CAOs.
