How The Pandemic Has Shaped Higher Ed

Perspectives From The Trenches

September 16, 2020 | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST

Summary

It’s been five months of crisis communications, pivoting to distance learning, and finding creative ways to keep alumni and donors engaged. In short, we’re all ready for the pandemic to be over– yet, it’s not. Despite the challenges facing higher education institutions, this is a time of creativity and opportunity.

Perkuto, Adobe, and BWG Connect invite you to join and hear from leaders at New York University and University of Washington, sharing from-the-trenches experiences, lessons learned, and what’s next.

Discussion Topics

  • Ideas and tactics to engage alumni and donors during sensitive times
  • How to facilitate timely (and consistent) communications to keep parents, students, and staff informed
  • What’s next for Higher Ed and how do we pivot from here
