A few more moments from the Ed.D. Higher Education Leadership and Administration Campus Immersion.

Across the multi-day experience, students, faculty, alumni, and higher education leaders came together for conversation, reflection, learning, and connection.

Centered on the theme of Sustainability and Leadership, the immersion created space for participants to engage with big ideas, build community across cohorts, and reflect on what meaningful leadership looks like in higher education today.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible! 🙏🏻
