Higher Ed 2035: Redesigning Work, Learning, and Teaching for What’s Next
As we move into a transformative decade for higher education, institutions are reimagining how they educate, operate, and prepare both students and staff for a rapidly shifting world. This panel brings together academic leaders, faculty development experts, and technology visionaries, including Deans and Chief Information Officers (CIOs)—to explore the deeply interconnected futures of learning, teaching, and working in higher ed. Together, they will examine how institutions can: (1) Reimagine learning environments through AI, personalization, and hybrid modalities; (2) Empower faculty as adaptive educators, designers, and digital collaborators; (3) Build more human-centered, technology-enabled workplaces; (4) Align academic innovation with enterprise systems and digital strategy; (5) Equip students not just for their first jobs, but for lifelong, purpose-driven learning; and (6) Lead through uncertainty with vision, agility, and cross-campus collaboration. Spanning academic strategy and operational infrastructure, this conversation will surface bold ideas, real-world examples, and leadership insights to help institutions thrive in the decade ahead.
