Synopsis

Future-Proofing the University explores the most promising examples of system-level change and reinvention by way of firsthand research into top higher education institutions globally.

Whether a ranking R1 or a smaller liberal arts institution, every college and university has the potential to achieve business sustainability and high-quality learning for today’s ever-growing student populations. These inspiring narratives describe the real‑world transformative impacts of dynamic leadership, innovative reimagining of curriculum and campus operations, and novel technology initiatives―both on campus and online. This book includes strategies navigating through the daunting obstacles and headwinds in today’s higher education environment, in ways that allow universities to develop more robust and entrepreneurial institutional management, while promoting social mobility, expanding experiential learning, reaching more underserved students, balancing synchronous, asynchronous, and AI‑mediated learning technologies for greater efficiency and much more.

Higher education leaders and administrators will come away with concrete ideas for innovations in curricula and environments, enhancements to teaching practices, and more optimal integration between digital and in-person learning.
