COVID disrupted the college campus as we knew it, forcing institutions to grapple with a challenging transition to remote learning as well as significant social, politial, and economic issues. The rate of change has been so sudden and all-encompassing, creating unprecedented uncertainty for the future of higher education. In this event, an expert panel of college and university leaders discuss four key topics: the influence of the syndemic on the college campus, de-siloization in higher education, the changing needs of campus space, and the state of campus culture.

Today’s students require increasing levels of flexibility and resilience to succeed in the world—so how might our traditional education systems evolve accordingly? And, what makes an institution agile in the first place? We know that modern students succeed when they are empowered with practical skills and the opportunity to apply them in real-world situations. They benefit from inclusive and diverse environments that span digital and physical realms. In our ever-changing, tech-forward world, we believe educators and institutions have an opportunity to re-imagine their practices and provide equitable, affordable access to quality education. Taking a cross-sectional view of K-12 and Higher Education, we discuss how the continuum of learning has transformed and how educators at every point on the spectrum can respond to these challenges.
