HERO University Summit

Managing Change & Navigating Uncertainty in Higher Education: 

Organizational Strategies, Individual Support, and Collective Resilience

October 21, 2025 from 8:30 AM PST/11:30 AM EST to 1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST

Virtual Session

As higher education continues to navigate rapid and complex challenges—from funding constraints and shifting workforce expectations to growing mental health needs; institutions must find innovative ways to adapt while supporting the people at the heart of their missions.

This year’s Virtual University Summit invites practitioners, leaders, and researchers from academic institutions to explore how we can respond to uncertainty with clarity, compassion, and creativity. Through research-informed insights, real-world case studies, and practical tools, we will examine how universities are fostering psychological safety, promoting well-being, building resilient systems, and strengthening a culture of trust and belonging.
