In conjunction with its annual National Conference, the LFP sponsors an annual Workshop for Senior Administrators of Network institutions. These workshops are arranged within the National Network and are offered at no cost to senior administrators at Lilly Fellows Program National Network member institutions. Each institution is eligible to register one senior administrator (president, vice president, academic dean, provost, or equivalent) or, given the topic, a relevant administrator or faculty member. One participant from each school will be reimbursed for travel costs up to $600. Meals and hotel accommodations will also be paid by the Lilly Fellows Program in Humanities and the Arts.

Mission and the Economic Challenges Facing Higher Education will examine how mission provides resources for church-related institutions of higher learning to address pressures to increase revenue and enrollment in unique and dynamic ways that are true to those schools’ intrinsic values. Stated differently, the workshop will examine how mission-based ideas and practices enable church-related institutions to increase revenue, resources, and enrollment while staying true to their historic mission. Specifically, the workshop will address such questions as:
- How do demands to increase revenue, resources, and enrollment create pressures on the core mission and values of church-related colleges and universities, and how are these pressures experienced and interpreted by different constituencies, including boards, administrators, faculty, staff, and supporters?
- What resources does fresh attention to mission provide for finding a shared vision and common strategic ground among different constituencies? Who can serve as translators among the divergent perspectives these groups often adopt?
- How should church-related mission help direct the allocation of resources among the competing internal constituencies exacerbated by these marketplace pressures, especially in the midst of institutional scarcity?
- How might mission help unify faculty and administration in liberal arts, professional schools, revenue-generating programs, and enrollment management more tightly together around common goals?
Each institution is eligible to register one senior administrator (president, vice president, academic dean, provost, or equivalent) or, given the topic, a relevant administrator or faculty member. One academic administrator from an LFP Network school may attend the Workshop for Senior Administrators at no cost. Accommodations, meals, and travel reimbursements of up to $600 will be provided for those who register by September 16, 2013. Space is limited; additional participants from member schools will be waitlisted until September 16 and will be enrolled as slots become available after that date.
Registration Deadline is September 16, 2013.
