The Brandeis University forum is a bold call to action, addressing the urgent challenges facing American higher education and unveiling a transformative vision for its future. As the United States transitions from a national, analog, industrial economy to a global, digital, and knowledge-driven landscape, the demands on higher education are evolving at an unprecedented pace. Public trust in colleges has been eroding, enrollments are declining, and critics argue that institutions are clinging to outdated models, failing to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. Meanwhile, employers are shifting their focus from traditional credentials, such as majors and GPAs, to the real-world skills and competencies that drive success in the workplace.
This forum represents a groundbreaking reimagining of higher education. Working closely with the Brandeis faculty, President Levine, a renowned scholar and leader in higher education, is implementing sweeping changes to the structure, curriculum, programs, degree offerings, teaching methods, career education, and student support systems at Brandeis. This event provides college presidents, faculty, trustees, parents, and prospective students with an exclusive opportunity to explore the challenges facing liberal arts colleges and discover the innovative solutions Brandeis is pioneering.
Attendees will gain unparalleled insights through remarks from Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA), President Levine, and a distinguished panel of experts. This is a unique opportunity for attendees to engage with these influential figures and gain valuable perspectives on the future of higher education. The forum will culminate in a networking reception, fostering collaboration and dialogue among thought leaders. We ask the media to cover this critical forum as Brandeis charts a bold new course for the next generation of students and higher education institutions.
The forum will be held on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm at the National Press Club, MWL Rooms, 529 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20045. A reception will follow.
