In the face of an increasingly negative national narrative about the value of a college degree, colleges and universities across the country are working overtime to build trust across key constituencies – prospective students and families, local communities, donors, and even their own faculty and staff. The fact remains that trust is built between people, not between entities or organizations. As such, to recover the public’s trust, we must first examine the state of trust in our campus environments, and consider how leaders and colleagues can show up for each other most meaningfully. Using a practical framework, this session will explore the factors of trust that inform our professional and stakeholder relationships.
