Bringing Together the Remote University

The pandemic has forced colleges — always a sprawling enterprise — to be even more spread out. No longer limited to multiple colleges, schools, and satellite campuses, universities now exist in living rooms and makeshift offices across the globe.

To examine the effects of the remote shift and learn how these vast institutions can keep their operations running smoothly, The Chronicle will bring together an expert panel of senior administrators in an hourlong virtual forum. What are they learning amid these unprecedented challenges? A Chronicle reporter will lead a discussion to answer some of the key questions in higher ed today.

• How does remote learning affect operations, facilities, and IT infrastructure?
• What efficiencies have such a remote enterprise created? What problems have arisen as a result?
• What have university leaders learned about how to manage their institution during this difficult time?

Panelists include:

• Elizabeth Bejar, Senior Vice President of Academic & Student Affairs @Florida International University
• Melody Dee Childs, Chief Information Officer @Texas A&M University
• Jean Morrison, Provost @Boston University

With Support from Microsoft Azure
