EduComm Keynote Presentation: Higher Ed and the Economy Panel

Thursday, June 18th, 8:30-10am

You don't need to be told that the economy has wreaked havoc on higher education, what you need to know is how to face the challenges it presents. Your carefully considered budget projections are a fond memory as many states are cutting public university funding. But budget cuts don’t necessarily mean spending cuts; they mean that your spending decisions must be more carefully considered. Join a panel of higher education industry experts including Tom Fitzgerald, CEO of E&I Cooperative Purchasing, Brenda Harms of Stamats, and more to discuss what the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act means to higher education, and strategies for how institutions can weather the economic storm.
