Speaker: John O'Brien, President & CEO, Educause 

The last few years have been tumultuous, perhaps the most turbulent in the history of higher education. Stress-tested by the pandemic and grappling with confounding new developments and trends, higher education is in motion. The previously slow-but-steady pace of technology change--captured in traditional technology adoption curves--at times seems to have been replaced by one "pivot" after another. While some long simply to return to pre-pandemic rhythms, EDUCAUSE has consistently suggested that the current mix of new realities creates an opportunity for the evolution and, ideally, the transformation of post-secondary institutions powered by technology innovation and technology professionals. Along with this Digital Transformation, there is another transformation happening as some campuses move to re-imagine their campus culture to focus on new ways of caring for their employees and their students. Each transformation is crucial, and together these transformations contribute to the greater good more than either one alone. In this keynote presentation, EDUCAUSE president John O'Brien will make the case for taking intentional steps to develop a campus culture of care.
