Higher Ed State of the Sector for Community Colleges: The Fight to be Chosen
In this roundtable, we share insights from EAB’s latest research on the community college sector, as well as key opportunities for these critical institutions to redefine and articulate a value proposition that speaks directly to the needs of current and future stakeholders. These sessions are best suited for community college presidents and members of their cabinet.
Past
Conquering the Enrollment Challenges of Rural Community Colleges
With rural community college enrollment down nationwide and the number of college-going high school graduates expected to decline in coming years, the need to enroll, retain, and graduate more students has never been greater.
Partner Services
Personalized audits and diagnostics
Remote Work Policy Audit
Use the remote work policy audit to compare your institution’s policy to best practices across a wide spectrum of employers and data-driven research, and receive concrete suggestions to improve your policy that are specifically tailored to higher education.
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.
