This second annual seminar featured several sessions including a plenary on Leading Consequential Change: The Student Success Imperative with Dr. Leo Lambert, President Emeritus, Elon University.
Vicki McGillin, Vice President at the Gardner Institute says, “Leo Lambert talk about how equitable student success is not “another” thing that Boards must concern themselves with, it is “the” thing. He also urged Boards and leadership teams to ask bold and penetrating questions to get to the heart of the student success pathways at their institutions.”
