This year has brought significant economic and political shifts in the US and beyond. The need to adapt, innovate and lead has never been greater, and the responsibility to manage and ensure institutional stability falls on college leaders.
The US Universities Summit 2025 brought together key decision-makers from across the US to explore the evolving landscape of higher education. Through in-depth and solution-oriented closed door discussions, institutional leaders shared perspectives on the opportunities and challenges shaping their roles.
This was an invitation-only closed-door event exclusively for Presidents, Chancellors and Provosts of US universities and colleges.
In my 40+-year career, I don’t recall a more turbulent time than higher education leaders are experiencing now. I look forward to the opportunity for open dialogue and collaborative problem-solving with other presidents, chancellors and provosts who are facing unprecedented challenges. – Nariman Farvardin, President, Stevens Institute of Technology |
