Higher education is a unique environment that brings with it unique challenges. Past presidents and past chairs of CUPA-HR’s board of directors have developed full-day workshop specifically for HR professionals who are new to higher education. This preconference program, presented by seasoned higher ed HR leaders, will provide you with the knowledge you need while answering your questions about issues specific to colleges and universities.
Highlights will include:
- An orientation to the history and philosophy of “The Academy.”
- An understanding of the characteristics of higher education and how it differs from the rest of the world of work.
- An explanation of protocols, traditions and vernacular specific to higher education.
- A review of the ways institutions are classified, organized and governed.
- A tutorial on the budgetary and financial aspects of colleges and universities.
- Terms and conditions of employment for administrators and academics.
- A discussion about the future of higher education and how it will affect you.
- Rich resources for continued education and reference.
This is your opportunity to learn from the leaders who have shaped higher education HR across the country. This workshop consistently sells out, so be sure to register early!
