President Speaks: Colleges Need an Overhaul to Meet the Future Head On

Beth Martin, president of Notre Dame de Namur University (CA), writes: Higher education is not known for rapid change. This has been such a characteristic trait of the field that leadership guru Adrianna Kezar once called it “higher education’s immunity to change.”  To remain foundational pillars of society and equip students to become good citizens of the world, higher education institutions must grapple with these forces of change and form coherent strategies about how they wish to move forward. The time to do this is now.
