What Members Are Saying About the
EDUCAUSE New Managers Institute
“I really appreciate the practical tools, framing, and perspectives you provided. Thank you again for helping new managers like me feel more equipped to navigate difficult conversations with care and confidence.”

“I thought the institute was very informative, but it didn’t feel like a lecture. With topics like these, it can sometimes feel like too much information without real examples or discussion to help you apply it. This did not have that problem! It was amazing!”
