EAB Research

Community College Resource Hub

EAB provides in-depth research and services for community and technical college leaders to meet their most pressing challenges. Explore the Community College Resource Hub for the tools and insights to make progress against enrollment goals, DEIJ efforts, student success initiatives, and more.

Customized presentations

In partnership with Strategic Leaders, EAB’s Research Advisory Services experts work actively with partners to find best practices that suit your institution, and to help you make sound decisions that attract institutional support. We can bring our research to your team, for a single focused session or multiple sessions adapted to different audiences.

If you are interested in having EAB experts present to a group on your campus or facilitate a discussion, we recommend reaching out to your Strategic Leader at least a month or two before a virtual session. For some especially popular times of year (e.g., the start of the semester, around spring and fall board retreats) we recommend reaching out three months in advance, or as early as you can.

Roundtable

Compassionate Leadership Seminar for Community College Leaders

Cabinet leaders are ready to lead their teams forward with bold ideas—but many find their teams exhausted by the demands of the past few years, protests and campus-wide division, and constant talent turnover. At the same time, leaders are experiencing compassion fatigue.

Roundtable

Resilient Leadership Workshop for Community College Leaders

In crises such as this, much of the long-term, strategic thinking is replaced by the day-to-day crisis management and it takes a communal mindset shift to approach the future intentionally. In this session participants will learn how to shift away from the crisis mentality of the last year and toward long-term strategic thinking and resilience.
