2025 Deans Executive Roundtable

Please join us in Washington, D.C. for our signature in-person roundtable for university deans. You’ll have the opportunity to engage in highly interactive, executive-level conversations about the most pressing challenges facing college leaders today. Our 2025 edition will feature new content from EAB research, opportunities to network with peers and colleagues, and time to create action plans to bring new ideas back to campus.

2024 attendees noted that convening with peers and EAB experts was time well spent:

• “A thought-provoking and enjoyable experience.”
• “I was highly engaged by the insightful, relevant research.”
• “I loved the opportunity to connect with deans from other disciplines and universities.”
