Leading Towards Interconnectedness (2021)

Keywords:

practice, theory, leadership

Abstract

Co-curricular support services and those who lead them have traditionally operated at the periphery of higher education institutions, structured as separate from the education mainstream (i.e., academic departments), and siloed from one another, with their critical contributions to the institution often going unnoticed. During this panel presentation, a panel of experts from 4 different universities, with Marshall and Carlock acting as moderators, will explore how recently, in reaction to the pandemic, work at the periphery has been drawn more center stage and what this might mean for those leaders at the periphery. Panel members will identify effective collaborations that they have initiated and results of those collaborations in terms of creating more effective services and building stronger relationships. Directions for future work will also be discussed. We anticipate an organic discussion with the audience being an active participant.
