global engagement: global insights programme 2017
Washington DC and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Sunday, October 1st, – Thursday, October 5th, 2017
The Global Insights programme is an opportunity for leaders in UK education to work with their Australian counterparts as they jointly navigate across the changing landscape of higher education in the USA.
This immersive, two location event in Washington DC and Philadelphia, is being offered by a partnership between the Higher Education Academy (HEA), the University of Pennsylvania, Ranmore, a ‘niche’ provider of leadership development in higher education and the LH Martin Institute. It offers a real opportunity for you to ‘step back’ from operational matters and immerse yourself in another higher education system undergoing significant change.
Whether you are a regular visitor to the US and already have strong research or teaching links or you are seeking a means of understanding current issues facing HE in the US we believe you will gain much from the programme.
Over a five-day period, we will undertake a ‘deep dive’ into American higher education to gain insights into how different types of universities are responding to a changing context and positioning themselves for the future.
- What will be the policy landscape for higher education under President Trump?
- What does the funding landscape look like? How are national bodies such as the American Council on Education (ACE), and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) interpreting the current and future context and
- What and how do are they doing to influence policy development?
Through visiting a fascinating range of institutions, such as Georgetown University, the University of Pennsylvania, and University of Maryland, University College, among others, you will engage in discussions with fellow HE leaders - guided by two experienced programme leaders with extensive knowledge of higher education the pre-conditions for creating an intensive and informative event are all in place. The culminating event is a roundtable symposium involving program participants and leaders of select U.S. universities and colleges.
