Introducing Focus Friday | HESA

The Meaning of 2025

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to share a new initiative we’re launching this fall: Focus Friday.

Focus Friday is a biweekly webinar series that brings people together around some of the most pressing issues in higher education. Each session runs for an hour and features a few short conversations with invited guests, followed by an open, coffee-chat style discussion where everyone can join in.

The goal is simple: create space to share ideas, meet new people across the sector, and learn from one another. We especially encourage you to join sessions on topics that may be outside your usual focus as sometimes that’s where the most interesting insights emerge.

Over the course of this initiative, we’ll be diving into themes like current enrolment trends, student experience, the future of research, and even integrating elements of our AI-CADEMY programming into the series. If you’re doing something exciting in any of these areas, I’d love to hear from you. There’s a suggestion box built directly into the Zoom registration form, and you can always drop me a line at [email protected].

In each Focus Friday, you’ll receive the Zoom registration link for the next session. For example, below you will find the link to register for our first full session on September 26 from 12:30–1:30pm Eastern.

I’m excited to chat with you!

Cheers,

Tiff
