THE RIVER CONNECT is a virtual community of experts and colleagues gathered together to help each other process the complexities of the work.

Practitioners in higher education have a wide range of experience, expertise, and capacity. The work is usually complicated, often scrutinized, and sometimes litigated. Compliance obligations combined with the shifting legal landscape make it very hard to stay current. When you CONNECT to the THE RIVER, you will have a continuous flow of information to help guide you in defining your best practice.
