]]> Exploring PASSHE’s strategic integration journey towards fiscal sustainability and student success Dan Greenstein, Christine Smith, Dave Capitano 00:33:39 The rapid changes across higher education continue to force institutions to revisit and reimagine their business models to achieve fiscal sustainability through a more innovative, student-centered lens. More colleges and universities are embarking on integrations, or mergers, to uniquely position their organization to go there as they enhance and transform their present to thrive in the future. Chancellor of Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education (PASSHE), Dan Greenstein, joins our fiscal resiliency podcast series. In this episode, we examine how strategic integrations enabled Pennsylvania’s 14 state-owned institutions to navigate obstacles plaguing the industry, chart a course to better meet student needs and expand student opportunities. We dive deep into PASSHE’s journey to explore why and how they approached an enormous institutional integration and the notable challenges, success drivers and lessons learned along the way. Chancellor Greenstein delivers recommendations to leaders considering an institutional integration, including the importance of having an effective governance and leadership team, using data to make informed decisions, investing in talent development and above all, putting the students first. Don’t miss how the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania recognized the value of PASSHE’s bold and transformative integration efforts to attain institutional and student success.
