At CarringtonCrisp we are delighted to be working with the UALL Universities Association for Lifelong Learning. As universities look to develop a lifelong learning offer, making it a central part of their strategy, our report will look at what learners and communities want, what employers want and what lifelong learning means for higher education. Look out for the report in 2025!

Building a #lifelong learning #strategy can be daunting for any #University, but it's a critical step if you want to remain at the #forefront of #education. In this fantastic panel with inspiring colleagues at Times Higher Education, we covered #organisational models, #operational complexities, #funding needs, #challenges, and #opportunities, and the need to embrace different #perspectives to create a lifelong #endeavour. Reach out for more information on the #research and #strategies we are working on!

Thanks for presenting on this important topic at ISSP!

I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be a part of Bay Path University and Cambridge College. Today is a transformational day for all of us here. I am incredibly proud of our fidelity to our missions, our commitment to the communities we serve, our teammates, and our impact on higher education. #StrongerTogether I am also grateful for you, Sandra J. Doran, Michael Giampietro, Kathleen Bourque, Natalia Blank, PhD, Stephen Healey, Niti Seth, Dennis J. Madigan, CMA, our Board of Trustees, and the rest of the teams that trusted me to lead Phase 1 of the acquisition. We did it! Special kudos to the Phase 1 project team; I am a better professional for working with you: Jeremy Anderson, Jessica Sabbagh (rock star), Brittany Riley, MBA, and Susan Poglinco, PhD (and the Core team). I am even more grateful for the continued confidence in me and our super-talented project team as we lead the next phase of this process: Tracy McLaughlin, Shirley Montovani, Madison McGrath, Jonathan Besse, and Susan Poglinco, PhD. Thank you for being tremendous partners, thought leaders, and accountability partners. I am super excited about the work ahead. Collectively, we will think holistically about what it means to serve students, how to continue to make a profound and lasting impact in our communities, and how to transform ourselves and our organization. #BayPathUniversityProud. #CambridgeCollegeProud. #Transformation.

The Center for the Study of Global Change, a joint initiative between our offices and the Hamilton Lugar School of Global & International Studies, is designed to empower Hoosiers of any age with the skills and resources to engage globally, and that starts long before they might join our campus as undergraduates. Our most recent blog post outlines just a few of the programs the Center that served Southern Indiana's youngest learners in 2024. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gBNatYaB

This really was quite the experience - not just the ceremony but the whole two and a half years of doing an MBA at Henley Business School. Something I really never thought I would do, and obviously left it too late in life to have any material effect on my career - but an opportunity to learn and meet incredible people from the private and public sector. As someone who fell in to writing about start-ups sort of accidentally, and then become an entrepreneur and ended up coaching and assisting media and social impact entrepreneurs in a similarly unplanned way, my feelings about business as a potential force for good really changed over the years as I learned on the job the principles of running a business, developing digital products and measuring success in a way that takes into account social impact. Even so, I was dubious about the benefits of an MBA. One person who really made me think about how the value of knowledge and learning in this respect was Jon Foster-Pedley, who I have had the absolute privilege of working for as a freelance writer and getting to know over a period of some years. It was getting to know Jon, and becoming aware of Henley's unique program - which encourages business ethics, human relationships and corporate activism for the greater good - that made me change my mind about MBAs. And I'm so glad it change. For me, the value of this course was a place to fill in the blanks in my knowledge. To discover the long roots in academia and practice of things like lean startup helped me to refine my understanding of them. To have space and tools to think about things like leadership, change management, process management and how to facilitate good relationships with colleagues and stakeholders has changed the way I approach many challenges in my work and the advice I give the people I coach. The tl;dr is that if you work in media, civic tech, social impact - there's so much to learn from the world of business that can make our work better, reach more people and improve revenue generation and impact. And no better place to learn it than Henley Business School - Africa. Plus, they have bursaries for the sector too.
