An institutional crisis can occur at any time and have major effects on an institution and the college community. Getting through a crisis in a 24/7 news cycle can be extremely difficult. Clear-eyed decisions must be made by those at the helm. Presidents cannot do it alone. The webinar will discuss principles, practical steps and outside perceptions on how boards can manage an institutional crisis.
