President to President: "The Next Big Thing"
Edited by Dr. Scott D. Miller & Dr. Marylouise Fennell
The tenth and final chapter of the 2019-2020 President to President thought-leadership publication is now available. This year's series, "The Next Big Thing," explores how higher education institutions are responding to ever-evolving student and parent expectations, learning needs, shifting demographics, and more.
In this chapter, "The Blank Sheet of Paper: Crafting Curated Solutions for Strategic Partners," Robert Morris University President Chris Howard describes how his institution forms strategic relationships with local businesses and other employers to develop mutually beneficial programs that support students at all stages of their academic and professional journeys. He illustrates how flexibility, agility, and responsiveness to the needs of the region form the foundation of many of his University's most successful partnerships. I am sure we can all appreciate the parallel to this chapter and our need for partnership during this time of crisis and recovery.
