This webinar features conversations with higher education change leaders who have led from the middle and lived to tell about it! They'll share insights about what worked, what didn't, and why. We'll leave you with a few frameworks and tools to use in your own change endeavors. In addition to Dr. Parker, presenters include Dr. Allison Gillespie, Assistant Provost for Academic Affairs at The University of Southern Mississippi, Dr. Jeffrey Ratliff-Crain, Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs & Innovation at University of Minnesota-Rochester, and John Montana, Executive Director, Strategy & Innovation at Wake Forest University School of Business.

When Dr. Stephen Lehmkuhle became the chancellor of the brand-new University of Minnesota-Rochester campus, he had to start from scratch.
