Top five post-pandemic risks in higher education

The higher education risk landscape has changed, and continues to evolve, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many institutions are in the same boat, navigating challenges and opportunities that we have not focused on in the past. This session will take a deep dive into the top five post pandemic risks facing colleges and universities and how some institutions have addressed these risks. We will also provide insights and guidance on how to mitigate these post-pandemic risks to enhance fiscal resiliency for your institution, including planning for workforce disruption, implementing strategies to maintain internal controls in a changing work environment and employing IT safeguards.
