HEALO News

Eric Lavigne has received new funding to conduct a pilot study to improve our understanding of the challenge of change in higher education. The two-year study will focus on Northern Ontario institutions and foreground the challenges administrators in remote areas face when making or implementing change decisions.

HEALO Team members will be presenting latest findings on three projects at the annual meeting of the Canadian Society for the Study of Higher Education (CSSHE) in Montreal, this coming June:

• The demographics of Ontario College Presidents and Vice-presidents, 1996-2022;
• What counts as leadership performance in higher education administration;
• Internal and external actors of organizational change in developing countries' higher education institutions.

Hope you can join us in Montreal!
