As senior student affairs leaders, our ability to advance student success and institutional priorities often depends on the relationships we cultivate with our executive colleagues across the university. This session will explore strategies for building authentic, trust-based partnerships with peers in academic affairs, finance, advancement, operations, and beyond. Through shared stories and lessons learned, we’ll discuss how to communicate value, navigate differing priorities, and lead collaboratively in times of both innovation and challenge.

Colleagues will have the opportunity to discuss practical approaches to deepening collaboration within their own leadership teams and fostering a stronger, more aligned campus ecosystem for supporting students.
