Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel Session

The term “resilience” is being used a lot these days in connection with recovery from the pandemic and post-pandemic higher education. But exactly what is resilience, why is it important, and what do institutions need to do to become more resilient? In August, EDUCAUSE convened an expert panel of CIOs and CISOs, as well as risk, HR, and business officers, to define institutional resilience for higher education and identify the activities and resources that could help advance institutional knowledge and practice. Join us to learn more about resilience and how it applies to higher education.
