| Details: | Many colleges and universities continue to experience high turnover, prolonged vacancies, and questions about how to engage employees. Dr. McClure explores the roots of higher education’s workplace problems, connecting his personal experiences to the latest research on burnout, disengagement, and demoralization. Higher education is in a crisis of burnout and disengagement. Many institutions are struggling with high turnover, low morale, and outdated policies that leave employees feeling undervalued. But it doesn’t have to be this way. McClure didn’t set out to become a national voice on higher education workplaces—but his own experience with burnout led him to take a closer look. The presentation introduces Dr. McClure’s model of organizational care and provides multiple concrete strategies leaders can pursue to better support the wellbeing of staff and faculty. The event will take place on Friday, March 20, 2026, from 1- 2:15 p.m. in the CMU Park Library Sarah and Daniel Opperman Auditorium. A live stream option is available for those unable to attend in person. |
