Building Strategic Resilience in Higher Education: A Live Panel Discussion

Today’s higher education landscape is evolving faster than ever. From enrollment shifts to new policies and changing student expectations, institutions are navigating a new era of complexity and change — all while staying focused on delivering their mission.

At Elate, our vision has always been to help organizations reach their shared vision and deliver their ultimate impact. We’ve learned that to do this well, it takes more than managing tasks — it requires empowering Strategy and Operations Leaders to drive purposeful work that connects long-term vision to real-time execution.

Over the years, we’ve partnered with leaders from Fortune 100 companies, professional sports teams, non-profits, and high-growth startups — yet one of our favorite industries to partner alongside is Higher Education. Colleges and universities often have deeply rooted traditions and practices, yet are uniquely tasked with balancing a bold vision for the future with the realities of delivering an exceptional experience today.

That’s why we’re thrilled to bring together a diverse panel of Higher Education Strategy and Operations Leaders to explore how institutions are adapting their strategic planning efforts to meet today’s challenges — and where they see opportunity for impact.

What We’ll Cover:

  • The current state of the higher education landscape: what’s happening now and what’s ahead
  • The role of strategic planning in higher education
  • How institutions are adjusting strategic plans in response to external pressures
  • Learnings and lessons from our panelists as strategy leaders in higher education
  • How Aspiring Leaders can take unexpected career journeys to Strategy and Operations
  • Live audience Q&A

Panelists:

  • Jocelyn Lewis, EdD; Vice President - Institutional Effectiveness - Advancement and Strategic Initiatives; Camden County College
  • Charles Hammond; Vice President for Operations and Planning; Goldey-Beacom College
  • Rob Schnieders; Vice President Strategic Initiatives; Fairfield University
  • Christopher Longtin; Manager, Strategic Initiatives; McMaster University
  • Brooks Busch (Moderator); Co-Founder & CEO, Elate

If you’re a leader thinking about how to adapt your institution’s strategy for today — and tomorrow — this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
