Background
Leaders in higher education must consistently navigate rapid change, competing priorities, and limited time and resources, all while facing overstuffed calendars, throttled inboxes, and the perpetual ping of messages. Deep, strategic thinking and problem-solving require time and mental space as well as peers who can offer ideas and support.
Opportunity
The 5th Annual OLC Leadership Network Symposium (LNS), held on November 16, is the perfect opportunity for leaders from diverse institutions to break away from the daily grind to discuss the challenges they face and connect with other leaders in the field.
Key Findings
The schedule is already available, but a few findings merit your attention:
Workshop with the Conference Keynote
The keynote speaker for the Accelerate conference, Alex Goryachev, will lead an exclusive workshop addressing leadership and AI that you don’t want to miss.
Higher Engagement
This year’s program has been redesigned to create more opportunities for meaningful participation, with a mix of presentations, discussions, brainstorming, reflection, and networking throughout the day.
Lunch Is Back
Lunch is included this year to foster connections among attendees and, most importantly, to fuel the afternoon conversations.
Expected Outcomes
Attendees will leave the symposium with fresh ideas, new colleagues, and renewed energy to address the issues they face at their institutions.
Recommendation
Attendance at the LNS is highly recommended. This opportunity comes along once a year, and this small investment will likely lead to greater impact at your institution.
Next Steps
Register for the OLC Leadership Network Symposium by visiting the LNS website. Then, on November 16, step away from your inbox and spend a day ideating, connecting, and working on those issues that deserve more than the time left between meetings.
