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.

Effective Practices for Mobilizing Change Agents

OEPN is a community of practice for university staff, non-tenure-track faculty, and community partners. These outreach and engagement professionals—or "boundary spanners"—develop and sustain relationships between higher education institutions and community partner organizations by facilitating, managing, directing, and administering ongoing projects, programs, services, and research.

The Pre-College and Youth Programming Workshop will take place during the Engagement Scholarship Consortium pre-conference sessions. Postsecondary institutions serve a valuable role in communities, not only by educating college students but also by providing a wide range of youth programming and access to universities. This workshop will explore ways in which universities and institutions, through youth programs, have had an impact on pre-college students. This professional development workshop brings the pre-college conversation to a national and international level through continued discussion of new practices in working with pre-college students on college campuses.
