The final APPA Thought Leaders report for 2024 was recently released. This is always a satisfying day, the result of several months of work. This year, 30 higher education experts met in Alexandria, Virginia to discuss the the future of college and university campuses in 2030. They evaluated the implications of new technologies like AI, ongoing institutional transformation, and the outlook of enrollment in higher education. Their goal was to propose strategies to help facilities professionals prepare themselves and their institutions for the future.
My role is to consolidate the discussions at the symposium, research issues in detail and write everything up in a compelling way. This was my 17th Thought Leaders symposium, and every year I learn new things about higher education.
