The Future of Higher Education for Dakota County and Minnesota
Colleges and universities have relied on traditional economic models to sustain them. For the majority of private institutions, this means enrolling a stable number of tuition-paying students. In the case of public institutions, it means receiving consistent state appropriations, in addition to tuition revenue. The pace of change in the economy, as well as the global COVID-19 pandemic, has impacted the reliability of traditional models, putting pressure on institutions to readjust their strategies.
Please join us on Thursday, April 21 for this important conversation on the future higher education from the experts.
