SREB + Huron: Higher Ed Insights

Join us Wednesday as we continue our webinars to share insights and examples from colleges and universities across the country. Panelists for the series include higher education leaders from Carl Albert State College, Marymount University, the University System of Georgia and Wake Technical Community College along with experts from Huron.

• Bringing about administrative efficiencies while protecting the academic core in the long run
• Aligning faculty effort with both mission and financial viability to inform strategic decisions about where to invest scarce resources
• Understanding the full costs of delivering academic programs and administrative services. Do we understand how (and perhaps why) some programs subsidize others, then make our decisions accordingly?

• Structuring administrative services to maximize resources available to invest in academic, research, community and student missions
• Determining the cost effectiveness and impact of services offered to students, faculty and other constituencies

• What our approach to enrollment management looks like as higher education emerges from the pandemic
• How our approach reflects changes in demographics, demand, and increased parent and student price sensitivity
• Being thoughtful about our long-term student pipeline and adjusting our enrollment strategy accordingly. What's the best way to tap into international enrollments, and how should we assess current articulation agreements between four- and two-year institutions?

• With fewer resources and a marked decline in enrollments during the pandemic, how community colleges are responding to increasing financial pressures 
• Creative strategies two-year institutions are employing to ensure student success while remaining operationally resilient
• How community colleges and four-year institutions are working more collaboratively on student success and graduation rates
• How some institutions are linking enrollment strategies with employment needs in their regions
