Disruptive Innovation: The Evolution and Revolution Rocking Higher Education

As session moderator Jeff Selingo writes, "We tend to romanticize what happens on a college campus these days to fit a vision of higher education from a generation ago. Yet today's students no longer fit that mold." Innovation is creating major disruption in higher ed. Campuses are facing more pressure than ever before to change the way they do business, with calls to cut costs, streamline operations and employ technology to make higher education more accessible and efficient. Today's leading innovators and visionaries in higher education discuss their solutions to the onslaught of unprecedented challenges and take a look at the path forward for higher education.

Storytelling: Change the Story, Change the World

Since we first began talking to each other, telling stories has been a powerful way to capture attention, engage an audience and motivate that audience to act. As we learn more about how our brains work, we're also discovering that stories are intrinsic to decision making and play a critical role in shaping our view of the world. Andy Goodman explains why storytelling remains the single most powerful communication tool you possess, and offers specific ways your institution can use stories to advance your mission.

Advancing Institutional Integrity in Intercollegiate Athetics

For all their virtues, intercollegiate athletic programs have the potential to present institutions with significant reputational and financial risks. How should our institutions manage those risks? What principles and guidelines should institutions follow to help minimize the potential for problems? What is the role of governing boards and when should they get involved? What practices should the higher education community and the NCAA promote to ensure institutions remain true to their missions? Panelists will provide an update on a reform movement within the NCAA initiated by its president, Mark Emmert, and help answer some of these questions.

Speakers: Edward J. Ray, President, Oregon State University and Immediate Past Chair, NCAA Executive Committee; and Donald Remy, Executive Vice President of Law, Policy, and Governance and Chief Legal Officer, National Collegiate Athletic Association
