During the inaugural Tennessee’s Private Colleges and Universities Association Mid-Managers Conference, Vice President for Administration and University Counsel Jason Rogers and Director of Community Relations, Joyce Searcy shared a Belmont-specific case study and lessons learned. They demonstrated how critical it is for all institutional personnel to work together when called upon to address both on- and off-campus issues. Their session also addressed more general best practices associated with the leader’s response to and management of on- and off-campus politics.
