Over the past three years, COVID-19 has wreaked havoc globally. Higher education has not been immune from the profound change instigated by the pandemic. This panel will surface key lessons and learning by expert practitioner and leaders who have had a leadership role in managing and innovating higher education, to help produce equitable success, through the crisis. We look forward to discussing and sharing how various postsecondary institutions (particularly MSIs and state systems) have been innovating and serving their students both prior, during, and post the COVID-19 pandemic and key trends and lessons in postsecondary success that have emerged, and which will continue to gain momentum.
