Workshop: 'Reimagining Higher Education Post Recession'

SCUP–45 Connections Abound!

We were exploring the careers of our SCUP-45 plenary speakers and located Mark Milliron's current "Reading List." Lo and behold, an article by SCUPers Linda Baer, Don Norris, et al., is the first listed item. A link to that article, Action Analytics: Measuring and Improving Performance that Matters in Higher Education, is here. We also need to share with you the opportunity to spend Sunday morning, July 11 with Norris and Baer in this preconference workshop: "The current recession requires both immediate, severe adjustments, and longer-term innovation and reinvention of higher education. An emerging, new generation of “action analytics” will enable higher education leaders to lift out of the recession, establish financial sustainability, and sustain competitive advantage. This requires re-imagining our policies, processes, practices, and performance for the post-recession global economy. The focus is on value: achieving elevated expectations in an era of diminished resources. Action analytics, vision, and strong leadership will be critical to our success." -Linda Baer, Minnesota State Colleges & Universities System Office and Donald M. Norris, Strategic Initiatives, Inc., Abstract for the Preconference Workshop titled "Reimagining Higher Education Post Recession" at SCUP–45.
