FACING HIGHER EDUCATION'S FUTURE
LEVERAGING OUR PAST. EXPLORING OUR FUTURE.
LEVERAGING OUR PAST. EXPLORING OUR FUTURE.
To commemorate 50 years of collaboration, the LVAIC is launching a year-long learning series for our campuses. As a community, we will explore key topics relating to the shifting landscape of higher education. This program combines speaker events, study groups, and workshops to promote understanding of the impact of this changing environment. Navigating these opportunities together will prepare us for active participation in meeting these challenges on our campuses.
