Hawkins Leadership Roundtable

The Hawkins Leadership Roundtable consists of several hours of networking and discussion meetings over three days at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference. It engages participants in discussion on important leadership issues and in intensive networking. Participants will meet, share with, and learn from a cohort of peers at similar stages in their careers and a council of experienced higher education executive and senior leaders during small group discussions and one-to-one coaching opportunities.


You'll benefit in these ways:

  • You'll have time for reflection, synthesis, and networking, while discussing key issues with experts in the field.
  • You’ll develop relationships with a cohort you can tap for advice and guidance as you progress along your executive or senior leader pathway.
  • You’ll identify your top choices among the list of Hawkins Leadership Roundtable leadership advisors and meet with them at an arranged time during the conference to discuss issues of your choice.
