Back to All Events

Getting Back to "Normal" - Issues and Strategies

  • Goodwin University 1 Riverside Drive East Hartford, CT, 06118 United States (map)

We’re back!  There’s good news, and other news.  Although we’ve done six virtual events during the     pandemic, we are excited to return to campus and in-person education this semester.  Like many of you, we miss such gatherings, masks and all.

Join us on Friday, Dec. 10 at Goodwin University for Getting Back to Normal: Issues and Strategies.

How’s it going? What are the bumps in the road? What new policies and protocols are working, and which are still works-in-progress? What still needs to be navigated if students are to truly thrive amidst the ongoing challenges of a not-quite-post-COVID world?

Join us for a top-to-bottom review of the big issues facing higher education and some key strategies for addressing those issues.

In addition to our customary, highly-valued student panel (students from several schools), we will be offering two expert panels:

  • Senior Leadership Panel: Presidents and other Senior Higher Education Leaders from Public and Private Campuses and the Connecticut State Legislature – the “big picture.”

  • “On the Ground” Panel: Practitioners in Student Affairs and Counseling from Public and Private Campuses – working with students every day.

The day will also feature a Zoom-in from Chris Soto, Senior Advisor to U.S. Department of  Education Secretary Miguel Cardona.  Chris, Founder and Former Director of Higher Edge in New London, former Connecticut State Legislator, and former senior staff at Connecticut Department of Education, will describe his current work and offer some thoughts on the future of higher education from a national perspective.

Because not everyone is comfortable yet with in-person gatherings, as much as we miss them, we will offer the ability to join in our event remotely.  At Goodwin, we will observe social distancing and continued mask-wearing. We hope you can join us for a substantive and enjoyable session in East Hartford.
