A new convening for institutions navigating rapid change
Change doesn’t happen in isolation. The UB Executive Leadership Summit is a three-day, invitation-only gathering, a rare opportunity to join a conversation about the forces reshaping higher education: shifting enrollment, employer demand for job-ready skills, and the transformative impact of technology.
The Summit gives presidents, provosts, and senior leaders space to step back from daily institutional pressures and focus on what’s next, with candid peer dialogue on the challenges that matter most:
- Rethinking Curriculum
- Modernizing Credentials
- Ensuring Workforce Readiness
- Building the cross-campus alignment that
makes transformation possible
