What Does the Future of Post-Secondary Look Like?

The global pandemic has forced post-secondary institutions around the world to dramatically shift their entire educational delivery model with far-reaching impacts that are likely to continue well into 2021, if not longer. Institutions around the world are grappling with the shift – looking at opportunities while trying to mitigate serious impacts, for example from the dramatic downturn in international students.

Join us at the virtual State of the Island Economic Summit, taking place October 27-29, as leaders from three Island universities speak to the challenges, the opportunities and how and why universities must play a key role in our economic and societal recovery.
