Under the theme “Recovery, Reckoning, Reinvention,” presidents of independent colleges and universities will come together January 4–7, 2022, for the Council of Independent Colleges’ 2022 Presidents Institute. The Institute—the largest annual meeting of college and university presidents in the country—will provide a forum for candid discussion of mutual concerns, opportunities to hear from experts, and time to network with colleagues who face similar opportunities and challenges. Daily plenary sessions will set a larger context for presidential leadership by drawing on the insights of distinguished experts and experienced colleagues. Concurrent sessions, most facilitated by other presidents, will address practical aspects of leading independent colleges and universities.
