The Higher Ed Guide for the Corporate Community: Self Paced – September 2024

September 2–27, 2024

Colleges and universities have unique cultures, structures, and governance. The Higher Ed Guide for the Corporate Community: Self Paced program is designed to help those new to working with higher education understand the organizational structures, decision-making and strategic planning processes, procurement practices, funding models and approaches, stakeholders and influencers, and more. This self-paced, online, four-week program will be 100% asynchronous with one optional synchronous live session for Q&A with faculty. With resources curated by senior higher education leaders, this program will help participants develop the skills needed to be successful in navigating and working with the higher education environment.

Note: EDUCAUSE will be closed on September 2, however, the program will be open and available to those who wish to start this date.
