Webinar Description
What will be the real impact of demographic shifts on your institution? More importantly, how will your institution mitigate threats and seize opportunities in the midst of environmental changes-increasingly diverse students, heightened competition, and mounting fiscal constraints? During this webinar, we will debunk common misconceptions and explore the potential impact of environmental changes as well as seven profound emerging trends expected to impact how colleges and universities will teach tomorrow's students and provide needed services.
