Academic Vision in Practice
Date
November 19, 2025
Time
6:15 pm – 12:00 am

Location

The Heyman Center, Second Floor Common Room


This roundtable brings together distinguished senior academics from different fields to reflect on their experiences with realizing a vision for academic innovation. By what steps does a shared vision emerge, and what does it take to bring it to fruition? Are there predictable challenges in realizing an innovative academic vision, and how can these be overcome or avoided?

Together, we will brainstorm successful practices for bringing academic visions to life, particularly those grounded in shared governance and academic freedom. Can our past experiences offer insight into today’s challenges? What guidance might we offer younger colleagues striving to realize their own visions.
