Honing the Competitive Edge of Quality: Supporting and Sustaining Enrollment

At a time when the value of higher education is increasingly questioned and students demand more flexible pathways, a growing number of institutions are embracing digital learning as a worthwhile solution. With the rapid expansion of online programs and courses, students have more choice about where to pursue their degrees, and institutions must differentiate their offerings.

This year’s event will explore how senior leaders can articulate and use specific goals for quality that can differentiate programs and support enrollment — leading to learner success and fiscal sustainability.

Participate in the way forward by joining your fellow senior leaders for discussion — and a President Panel — on these important topics.

Registration is $300.00 and includes the option to add an additional registrant.
