We at Catch the Next know that colleges and universities are facing a changed landscape.

“Higher education was transformed in the 19th and 20th centuries to meet the needs of an emerging national, analog, industrial economy. Today, higher education is again being transformed -- this time to serve the needs of a global, digital, knowledge economy…” (https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2021/)

Catch the Next would like to be a part of that transformation, and we feel a good place to start is with a discussion with our college Presidents on the future of higher education. What are the challenges facing higher education, and what are some solutions? What is the value of higher education in the future? What is technology’s influence on higher education in years to come? How can institutions ensure that they continue to deliver to the student-consumer? What can be done about the often-prohibitive cost of higher education? How do colleges address the CoRequisite-Pathways movement within the 60x30TX Strategy? These are just some of the possible topics the panel could cover.

In addition to the panel, we would have a 3 to five-minute video of graduating students talking about the program’s impact and their plans.

We would also have 3 to 5 minutes videos of cohort 2021 faculty graduating from our professional development sequence to speak about the effects of our training on their teaching.

We will end with a student musical performance.
