The State of Higher Education in St. Louis

Register

When St. Louis’s colleges and universities thrive, the entire St. Louis region benefits. Join FOCUS and the Missouri Historical Society for a timely and candid conversation with higher education leaders from across our region.

Together, we’ll explore the challenges facing higher education, how these leaders are navigating uncertainty, and how they are innovating on their campuses and beyond to meet this moment. The conversation will examine how universities are adapting and evolving — and why the future of higher education matters to the future of the St. Louis region.
