A Look at What College Leaders Say About Innovation
| The Innovation Imperative |

| The buzz, the barriers, and what real change looks like |
|
| For decades, academe has produced new knowledge, advanced new ideas, and rolled out new programs. Campus leaders today, however, are often labeled as hesitant to transform beyond past standards. And with colleges facing unprecedented challenges, like exclusively online enrollment, the pressure to innovate has never been greater. |

The need to innovate is driven by students. The number of traditional-age students is projected to continue to decline in many locations across the country. Additionally, as families keep struggling to afford tuition, students are increasingly beginning to question the true value of a college degree. Despite these challenges, most institutions remain focused on recruiting first-time, first-year students.
The Chronicle’s report, “The Innovation Imperative,” dives deeper into the student mindset and provides valuable insight on building a lasting business model. The process of transformative change promises a necessary boost to education in this era.
Most colleges live or die on the share of available students they enroll. How can your institution protect its share?
