Higher Ed Outlook Series: Lessons in Resilient Leadership
June 10, 2026What does it really take to lead when an institution is under strain? In this candid conversation, a former university president shares important lessons from a series of interviews and conversations with other current and former presidents about leading institutions through sustained turbulence. Designed for current and aspiring presidents, this webinar focuses on practical leadership choices, personal resilience, and the realities of decision making when resources, morale, and time are limited. Participants will gain insights they can apply in today’s uncertain higher education environment, helping enhance their experience in the presidency and their institution’s outcomes.
