Gone are the days when change in our institutions is a choice. The onset of the global pandemic, along with demographic, technological, geopolitical, and economic shifts, has reshaped our professional world, especially for student success and student affairs professionals. As we grapple with burnout and the limitations of traditional change management, it's time to ask ourselves: - Are we misunderstanding the nature of change today? - What new paradigm can help us navigate these turbulent times? - What skills do we need to thrive amidst constant change? In our latest blog, Jennifer Baszile and Dani Barker explore the history of change in higher education and outline the challenges we face. Stay tuned for the next post, where we’ll introduce a new paradigm designed to empower us as we navigate this era of disruption. https://lnkd.in/gFbT5Uph #HigherEd #StudentSuccess #ChangeManagement #Burnout #Leadership #HigherEducation

In our previous blog post, we explored the impact of silos in higher education. In this week's post, we turn our attention to 3 practical strategies that will help you breakdown silos on your campus: fostering collaboration, improving communication, and promoting cross-departmental Initiatives. By implementing these strategies, institutions can break down silos and achieve greater integration and innovation. #StudentSuccess https://lnkd.in/gjKGUm46

In today's higher education landscape, silos hinder collaboration and innovation. Our recent LinkedIn poll highlights that overcoming these silos is crucial for student success and top of mind for university leaders. Our blog series, "Understanding and Breaking Silos in Higher Education," explores these challenges and offers strategies for fostering a collaborative environment. We address how academic, administrative, and technological silos limit interdisciplinary collaboration, create inefficiencies, and impede communication. By promoting a culture of cooperation, improving communication channels, and leveraging technology, we can break down these barriers and enhance student success.
