Leading Engagement During Executive Leadership Transitions

Turnover of higher education executives is high and expected to accelerate in the post-pandemic context. An analysis of applications from the most recent Carnegie Community Engagement Classification revealed that nearly 75% of institutions experienced turnover in presidential and/or senior academic officer positions.

Executive transition periods create uncertainty for leaders that seek to sustain and strengthen engagement as an institutional priority. What can leaders do to position engagement as a priority for new executives as they assume their roles? In this pre-conference seminar, participants will engage with testimonies of engagement leaders, readings, and small group discussions that explore ways for engagement to thrive during executive leadership transitions.
