The University Then and Now

Colleges and universities constantly imagine new ways to accomplish their teaching, research, and public service missions. We are in a moment of accelerating changes and challenges in higher education. Can our institutions imagine new strategies as they face declining public funding, challenges to public confidence in higher education, and the lingering impacts of the pandemic?  Join us as we learn about creative ways to rethink higher ed with insights drawn from flagship public institutions like UNC, as well as from smaller, specialized institutions like Penland School of Craft in western North Carolina.
