The Issues Shaping Higher-Ed Decisions — and Where Organizations Can Fit In 

Effective higher-ed marketing isn’t about broad exposure, it’s about showing up when campus leaders are confronted with complex challenges.

Chronicle reader engagement shows that presidents, provosts, and senior teams are currently focused on navigating a shared set of challenges:

  • AI’s growing impact on teaching, work, and institutional strategy.

  • Political pressure and public scrutiny.
  • Leadership instability and institutional trust.

Our 2026 Editorial Calendar maps how we'll tackle these challenges across special Issues, virtual forums, and in-person convenings.
