Join a panel of VPs for Advancement in a thought exercise on the future of philanthropy. Which of today's challenges are more permanent and which are temporary? How will we address the narrowing gift pyramid? How should we think strategically about gifts at all levels? How can Advancement help our institutions improve public trust in higher education and build public and private support for our return on investment? What will the Advancement team of 2040 look like, and what skills will be most important? What will the campus experience be, and how will colleges foster a sense of place and purpose?
