Let's do this together

After 20+ years in higher ed, I’ve seen things change and transform in so many ways. In the past 2 years, these shifts have challenged our perspective and pushed us to evolve faster than ever.

I’ve always found that the best way to stay focused and inspired during times of uncertainty is by connecting with other leaders who understand higher education’s unique challenges. We’ve created a space for that — where you can share emerging strategies, celebrate your successes, and tackle your biggest issues together.

I am so happy to have you be part of the Mainstay Community, and I look forward to seeing you at the next Roundtable!

Overheard at recent Roundtables

We need to stop and think about how we’re connecting with students, and understand that their lives right now could be completely different compared to before the pandemic, so the way that we work with them now should reflect that change.
Sherry KoshiAssistant Director, University & Student Affairs at West Coast University — Center for Graduate Studies
“Communicating with students about vaccine requirements has been a challenge. When students have questions, we want to make sure that staff and faculty have answers to those questions, but presenting as a united front around something that is constantly changing is really hard.”
Adam PetersenDirector of Strategic Initiatives for Academic Success at California State University, San Marcos
“In higher ed, we’ve historically had the luxury of not thinking about how and when we speak to our students. But in response to covid, the overall overwhelm of the student population has prompted us to reimagine how we communicate with students.”
JB RobinsonInterim Vice President of Student Affairs at National University
