Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Rob Hartman, CFO at Columbia International University, about how the pandemic has changed higher ed institutions and CIU, and in many ways, for the better.

Podcast Highlights

• A crisis or change effort can have unexpected positive outcomes. In the case of CIU, these outcomes include increased enrollment, endowment, and employee productivity.
• During a change effort, create a committee with membership that spans the campus and can work through consensus. This effort can develop a powerful plan for change while also building engagement and support among institutional stakeholders.
• During times of change, leaders will emerge when using creative problem-solving. This was evidenced by CIU’s students who volunteered to deliver meals to their quarantined classmates.
