Free Summer Workshop Series on Advancing Change in Higher Education

The series is designed for anyone involved in change projects in higher education, across all institution types, and for related organizations, associations, and networks.

Join us this summer for an exciting series of online workshops offered by the SEER Institute, which is housed within the Wisconsin Center for Education Research at UW–Madison’s School of Education. The series is an outgrowth of the National Change Initiative of the NSF Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Aspire Alliance. Sessions are focused on individual and organizational tools and skills to advance higher education reform and institutional change. Each workshop highlights critical skills and helpful tools to help you and your teams be more successful in your change efforts. Sessions will range from 2 to 2.5 hours. 

Participants will have the opportunity to connect with other researchers, change agents, administrators, and policymakers as they explore innovations to advance their current change work.
