Can your students find your institution's career services office? If they do, will they walk in? And how can campus planning impact the answer to those questions? I discuss this and more with Rebekah Paré in Episode 11 of the #EdUp Campus Planning podcast - available now via the link below. Episode sponsored by the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) and Co|Here Campus and Workplace. Rebekah consults with universities on their career services strategy and execution. I was a fan of her insightful, practical ideas and knew she'd be a great guest. While the future of career services is to become more embedded in the academic experience, the role of the physical office in visibility and service uptake will remain critical. In addition to tracing out how career services need to transform, we discuss campus planning-related topics such as: -The symbolism of space. -How to balance redundancy and convenience when deciding whether to have one or more career services outposts at large or multi-campus institutions. -Wayfinding and secondary color palates (I know!) #students #planning #careers #highered #EdUpExperience

?? New EdUp Provost Episode: Crisis Management in Higher Education with Simon Barker ????? From student activism to institutional neutrality, from political pressures to reputational risk—higher education leaders are facing crises like never before. In this eye-opening episode of EdUp Provost, Simon Barker, a leading expert in crisis management, joins Dr. Gregor Thuswaldner to explore how universities can navigate today’s volatile landscape with strategic leadership and proactive response. ?? Why is higher ed becoming a direct target in the political arena? ?? How can provosts and academic leaders safeguard institutional reputation while upholding free speech? ?? What is the Reputational Risk Maturity Model, and how can it help universities prepare for future crises? ?? Can institutions remain neutral in an era of intense political scrutiny? Barker pulls no punches in this must-listen discussion on the urgent need for universities to redefine their value, engage faculty and students in meaningful dialogue, and take control of their narrative before crises spiral out of control. If you lead in higher ed—or care about its future—you can’t afford to miss this episode. ??

??? How Podcasting is Reshaping Higher Ed Leadership: My EdUp Provost Journey I'm thrilled to share that University Business has featured EdUp Provost, ACAO's podcast which I host, in an article highlighting the impact of podcasting on higher education leadership! As I shared in the interview, podcasting has expanded my understanding of our rapidly evolving sector while making important scholarship more accessible and engaging.
