About
From budget reallocations to crises caused by natural disasters, global pandemics, or sudden government policy shifts, the need for strategic and adaptive leadership amid change is a constant for higher education leaders. Join Interfolio and The Ohio State University on May 15, 2025, at 1pm ET/10am PT to see how their Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) navigates the complexity of resource allocation post-disruptive event, and how they have mastered the art of maximizing the impact of their resources at hand.

This webinar will dive into the crux of these challenges, presenting strategies to ensure faculty and staff remain motivated and engaged in uncertain times. You will also learn:

  • Practical tactics for responding to externally generated crises in a manner that safeguards and empowers both individuals and institutions  

  • About the concept of reframing disruption, viewing it not as a setback, but as a seed for growth  

  • How to leverage lessons from past experiences to create long term strategic contingency plans and embrace a culture of adaptation and resiliency in faculty and administrators

Discover how adopting a service-oriented approach can support your faculty and the broader academic community and understand the crucial role faculty affairs plays in boosting institutional success when viewed as a 'service organization'.
