Join the Conversation
For almost two years, colleges and universities have been adjusting and transforming to accommodate our new realities, which have forced us to rethink and reimagine education as a system. While much attention has been paid to the effects of change on student learning, there have also been major disruptions for those of us who work in academia. Mindsets, expectations, and even just how we go about our workday have changed dramatically. Where do we go from here?
Join Stony Brook VPs Rick Gatteau and Lawrence Zacarese for an informative conversation around the future of work within higher education.
Topics will include:
- How has the Higher Education employment landscape been transformed and what does the future hold?
- What are the new skills necessary to succeed in the Higher Education job market – both now and post-pandemic?
- How has the shift to remote working and learning environments affected the workforce and what does it means to all stakeholders?
- How do we attract – and keep– talent in the Higher Education space?
