January 2026 Strategic-Leadership Seminar: National Trends in Higher Education

Tuesday, January 20 - 11:00 a.m. ET

Higher education is in the midst of a period of rapid change and persistent turbulence—including both the culmination of long-term trends and new shocks. Staying informed about this shifting environment is critical to understanding your institution’s strategy, and to making strategic decisions for your department.

This 60-minute session explored key trends in higher education and its economic and policy context.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to address and adapt to a shifting enrollment and budgetary landscape.
• Strategies for serving new populations of students, with different needs and expectations.
• How to navigate an evolving terrain of technologies and credential types.
• What the dynamic and uncertain state and federal policy landscape portends for higher education institutions.

Panelist:

• Martin Kurzweil, Vice President, Educational Transformation, Ithaka S+R

Moderator:

• Catharine Bond Hill, Managing Director, Ithaka S+R
