The first fall 2018 Future of Higher Ed Forum was a success with more than 60 faculty and staff attending. The large majority of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed that the event:
- Contributed to a campus culture of communication and collaboration
- Produced results to constructively provide ideas and perspectives to the university’s strategic planning committees
- Inspired a different kind of professional development and growth among participants
- Contributed to their connection with Illinois Tech’s founding purpose (Million Dollar Sermon)
