Webster University: 2011 Worldwide Directors Meeting

2011 Worldwide Directors Meeting

Achieving global academic and operational excellence takes the collaborative efforts of an entire network of campuses and programs. How are we “better together”? How do we articulate—to ourselves and to our stakeholders—our common vision, our combined strengths, and our shared vision? How can we “work smarter” to streamline processes, improve operations, benefit from the work of colleagues, and support sustainable practices?

You’ll have the chance to hear from – and share your ideas and successes with – President Stroble, Provost Schuster, AVP/CCO Barbara O’Malley, and many others. Come prepared to share best practices, to hear of new processes to assist in your operations, and – most importantly – to spend time with colleagues from around the country and the world.
