EDUCAUSE 2026 | Lunch & Learn

Thursday, October 1 | 11:30 AM - 12:45 PM

New student demographics and expectations. Data governance and policy changes. The proliferation of AI. Evolving financial aid regulations. Massive changes are converging in higher education, calling for institutional and technology modernization—but at what cost?

Hyperbole aside, today’s colleges and universities are being forced to contend with some of the biggest changes to ever hit higher education. How can campus leaders plan for an uncharted, unpredictable future?

In conjunction with EDUCAUSE and The Tambellini Group, this session will highlight industry research, real-world examples, and prescriptive advice on navigating institutional planning in an environment riddled with change. Join us for a collaborative, reflective session focused on grounded discussions and shared experiences. Attendees will leave the session with keen insight into how they can successfully address change management and technology modernization initiatives with confidence, allowing them to build a strong foundation for institutional resilience and long-term growth.
