Moon Shot Roundtable: Modern Anchor Institution

Colleges and universities are facing greater pressure around relevance and accountability, and external constituencies are questioning higher education institutions’ outcomes and impact. Instead of shaping strategy based on internal interests, colleges and universities must adopt an outside-in approach that aligns their goals with the priorities of external stakeholders (students, families, employers, legislators, and donors) and the needs of their regions. In this virtual interactive roundtable, we’ll discuss how colleges and universities can transform into “modern anchor institutions” that place serving these priorities — driving social & economic mobility, supporting workforce & economic development, solving real-world problems, and providing provable return on investment — at the core of their strategy. This shift will better position institutions to navigate financial pressures, attract future students, secure revenue, and build public support. Ultimately, this work helps ensure students are prepared for meaningful, self-sustaining careers that support long-term personal and economic well-being.
