Extended Abstract

Join us for this last session of three sessions at OLC’s spring leadership network event, where we bring together digital leaders from academics, non-profits, and the private sector to discuss digital education strategy in times of great change.  This session will focus on the evolving nature of student services in present times and the future, and is open to both established and emerging leaders attending the conference.

Digital leaders are guiding initiatives at traditional academic institutions and non-profits, attempting to maintain vision through crises, developing new partnerships and approaches within the private sector, and working to establish policies and regulations within government. We see ever increasing demand for cross-sector collaborations led by digital leaders across an increasingly diverse educational landscape. Join us at this half-day event for featured presentations and small group discussions on opportunities for digital leaders, both established and emerging, to create new pathways to student success amidst the rapidly-changing higher education landscape.

The Leadership Network Event option is included in your OLC Innovate Virtual Conference 2021 registration fee. There is no additional registration fee to participate in the event.  Learn more about this session and all of the sessions at the Leadership Network Event page.
