Reckoning with Relevance: 2024 Higher Ed State of the Sector On-Demand Webinar

Higher education is facing a moment of reckoning, where students, faculty and staff, and society as a whole are re-examining its purpose and value. In particular, the national conversation is questioning the relevance of colleges and universities like never before: mainstream press headlines attack value for money, employers speak loudly about “down-credentialing,” and public perception polls show trust in institutions is at an all-time low. Simultaneously, we face declines in demographics, college-going rates, and student mental health that pose dangers to our mission and business model.

Watch the on-demand webinar to learn about the six trends that are shaping the strategic and operational direction of colleges and universities. Hear from a panel of industry experts who share their reactions and predictions on these trends, including President of the American Council on Education (ACE) Ted Mitchell, journalist and higher education author Jeff Selingo, and California State University’s eleventh chancellor Mildred García.
