EM16 Chronicle Festival Invitation - What's Ahead

The Semester Is Starting. What's Ahead for Higher Ed?

As leaders, faculty, and staff return to campus, some of higher education’s most pressing challenges are coming into sharper focus.

How do you reengage students who feel disconnected from learning?

What should higher-ed reform look like?

How should colleges respond as AI reshapes learning and work?

How do leaders rebuild trust amid political and financial pressure?

In just a few weeks, Chronicle Festival will bring together leading thinkers and Chronicle journalists to dig into these questions and more.
