Facing the future: How higher education institutions can survive and thrive under a new federal compact
August 14, 2025 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Recent federal budget changes mark a watershed moment for American higher education. Proposed deep cuts to research funding, Pell Grants and federal loan programs – coupled with reduced overhead reimbursements and international student visa curtailments – threaten to erode the financial foundations of universities and colleges across the nation.
Yet this is not a time for panic. It is a time for clarity, courage and strategic action.
Join us for an essential “state of the industry” webinar that will unpack the implications of the new federal compact, highlight higher education trends, challenges and opportunities, and lead a pragmatic, optimistic path forward. There will be time to ask our presenters anything about higher education that has been on your mind.
Key learning objectives:
- Navigate the pending impact of proposed federal budget changes on higher education
