The coronavirus pandemic has had a dramatic impact on organizations and sectors of all kinds, including institutions of higher education. Although the long-term impact on colleges and universities is unknown, the short-term impact of the pandemic has been both staggering and unprecedented.

Rather than being isolated incidents requiring the sole attention of presidents, chancellors, or communication professionals, the proliferation of crises across campuses, including the unfolding coronavirus pandemic, makes crisis leadership fundamental to the work of all university personnel.

In this webinar, Dr. Ralph Gigliotti, Director of the Center for Organizational Leadership at Rutgers University and the author of Crisis Leadership in Higher Education: Theory and Practice, will provide a summary of his key research findings and the implications for academic and administrative leaders who must navigate institutional and environmental crises that are most germane to higher education.

Who would benefit from attending:

• College and university personnel at all levels
• Leadership and communication scholars with an interest in crisis research, consulting, and training and development

What will participants learn or gain from attending the webinar?

• Greater awareness of the types of crises that are most relevant to colleges and universities
• Deeper understanding of the concepts and principles underlying crisis as a social construction
• Specific strategies for exercising crisis leadership
