Join the project leads for Illuminating Hope in Higher Ed – Christie Schultz, Jessica Riddell, and Julie Peters – for a discussion of what we have learned so far through this series and to hear some reflections from the Luminaries who have shared their perspectives to date. At this first Illuminating Hope Gathering, we will ask: What have we learned over the last few months from the many writers and contributors, what has surprised us along the way, and what we are considering as we go into the new year? This will be both a reflection on the work to date and a generative space for dreaming forward.

Bring your thoughts on questions like:

• What would you hope a university, college, or polytechnic could look like in the next five years?
• What does flourishing look like in your own context?
• What glimmers or indicators of flourishing have you noticed?
• What might it look like to tweak one system or structure to shift from scarcity to abundance?
