Preparing for the Election: Practical Strategies for Campus Leaders to Foster Community
For: Higher EdWebinarsPractical, high-impact approaches that can be immediately integrated into higher ed leaders' fall 2024 election plans.
Elections are a sacred ritual in our democracy, yet they often evoke strong opinions and emotions, causing and deepening divisions on college campuses. The 2024 election is particularly fraught, with higher education under increased scrutiny due to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Without proactive measures to protect community, campuses risk buckling under election pressures. As November approaches, it’s crucial to prepare your campus to face these challenges and turn them into opportunities to strengthen campus culture.
This webinar is designed to equip higher education leaders with actionable strategies to maintain community, prevent fractures, and mitigate risk. It focuses on practical, high-impact approaches that can be immediately integrated into your fall plans. After watching, you'll be better prepared to shepherd your campus through turbulent moments in a way that honors your institutional values and preserves cohesion.
