About

President to President is a higher education thought leadership series written by university presidents for university presidents. Each year, the series focuses on a different aspect of the higher education experience. The 2024-2025 edition of President to President, titled “Game Changers in Higher Education,” examines how new ideas, strategies, and influences are driving meaningful change on college campuses.

By definition, a game changer is a newly introduced element or factor that changes an existing situation or activity in a significant way. Higher education is full of game-changing scenarios that college presidents must plan for and address. The 2024-2025 President to President series takes a thoughtful look at some of the game changers impacting higher education in the short and long-term.

Game changers lead; the rest can only learn, grow, and follow. This year’s President to President series explores the perspectives of 10 college and university presidents. Over the course of the year, these experts will share their visions for the future and their strategies for prioritizing the game-changing ideas and innovations that will ensure the ongoing success of their colleges.

Each chapter of President to President is authored by a notable higher education thought leader at the forefront of innovative philosophies and practices that give their institution a competitive advantage. For the first 19 years of President to President, higher education leaders Scott D. Miller, Ph.D., and Marylouise Fennell, Ed.D., served as executive editors. After the passing in October 2022 of Dr. Fennell, a beloved colleague and friend and a force to be reckoned with, Dr. Miller continued the series in her honor. In 2023, he welcomed two new Assistant Editors: Katelyn M. Sanders, Pharm. D., and Kelly R. Cordova, M.B.A.

Each month, one chapter will be distributed and promoted electronically, as well as posted on president2president.com At the end of the series, the foreword and chapters will be published into a thought-provoking collection and made available as a reference resource.
