General Session
We are rapidly headed toward a future that will be unrecognizable from the world we live in today. While we don't know exactly what the year 2030 will look like, we do know that the careers and the world we are preparing our students to be engaged in will look dramatically different by then. How can higher education help prepare our learners to be culturally fluent and courageous leaders, critical thinkers, and ethical decision makers? Join in this lively session, where we explore the future we are heading toward and challenge each other to think boldly about how higher education can give our students transformative learning experiences, preparing them to lead in a changing global society.
