Colleagues and Friends,

Please join us as the Leavey School of Business hosts the California Higher Education Innovation Council forum on University Strategy in a Digital World: Leading, Lagging, Emerging, Diversifying.

This forum examines the complex but powerful relationships between university strategy and digital utilization, interrogating the issue from two different perspectives. University leaders will reflect on digitization within their institutional strategies, and digitization experts will focus on the issues of digitization that apply specifically to higher education.
