But many don't . . . and it's not their fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday's colleges and universities are defined by their separations: teaching and research, student affairs and academic affairs, courses and careers, academia and industry. The list goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut demographic shifts, technological breakthroughs, economic upheaval, and new ways of learning and working mean that higher education must change. Instead of separations, we need connected colleges where all students feel a sense of belonging, courses lead to rewarding careers, students have the support to succeed, and faculty, staff, and administration work together to make this happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo lead a connected college, you must get comfortable with disrupting higher education.
