CLAC Conference, 2025

As the conference theme this year-- CLAC Attack(Ed)-- suggests, many of us feel particularly under siege these days.  Whether it's the enrollment cliff, cybercriminals, uncertainty of federal funding and resources, the media, global supply chains, or any of a myriad of other threats or concerns; it can be hard to navigate as an institutional leader.  Just the sheer volume and variety of challenges can feel overwhelming. Join a few colleagues for a highly interactive and also informal discussion of the challenges (and maybe even some opportunities?) that come from leading in times of great institutional uncertainty.  Bring your questions, ideas and insights!  Let's share our best thinking on approaches for navigating in these particularly rough waters.

The session will explore how our structured, tiered training model — encompassing systems training, data analysis skills, and leadership development — drives strategic outcomes. 

Explore how strategic storytelling and creative writing techniques enable IT teams in higher ed to convey complex goals, align stakeholders, and advocate for resources through compelling narratives.

How our LMS Evaluation made the Sr. Assoc. Provost say “This was a model for how to initiate broad systems-level change in a collaborative, inclusive manner.  I’ve learned a lot through this process.”
