Leading transformational change

As colleges and universities face aging infrastructure, evolving student expectations, and increasing operational complexity, institutional leaders can no longer afford to think reactively about campus growth. In today’s episode of Built for Impact: A Brailsford & Dunlavey Podcast, Dr. Lowell Davis, vice president for student affairs at the University of Texas at Arlington, joins B&D’s Dr. T.J. Logan to explore how institutions can leverage strategic planning, facilities investments, and student life operations to support long-term institutional growth. Together, they discuss leading through transformational change, aligning stakeholders across complex campus ecosystems, and why housing and the residential experience are increasingly becoming strategic infrastructure for student success and institutional competitiveness.
