Higher Education Leaders<\/h4>\r\nAmerican higher education is facing a deep crisis. In particular,\u00a0small and medium-sized, private U.S. colleges and universities are being the most seriously impacted. More than 500 private colleges and universities have closed in the past decade.\u00a0This crisis is caused by both internal factors and external conditions.\u00a0What are these challenges and what strategies can be employed to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of colleges and universities in a globally competitive environment?\u00a0Why, and how, should higher education leaders engage in those strategies? What survival lessons are there for higher education leaders to learn from? This presentation will showcase research that attempts to answer these questions and\u00a0demonstrate that not only university administrators but also faculty members have a crucial role to play to ensure the economic sustainability of their higher education institutions.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t<div class=\"rs-social-icons\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"social-icons1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" class=\"social-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook-f\"><\/i><\/a> <a href=\"#\" class=\"social-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"#\" class=\"social-icon\"><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin-in\"><\/i><\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-xs-1 filter_speaker  grid-item\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-team-three\">\n                                    <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/teams\/dr-riyad-moosa\/\" class=\"thumbnail\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"389\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1.png\" class=\"attachment-elevate-team-slider size-elevate-team-slider wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1.png 389w, https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1-241x300.png 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" \/>                            <\/a>\n                        \t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"tp-team-speaker\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-content\/themes\/evendo\/assets\/images\/speaker.png\">Speaker<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                 \n                                    <div class=\"content-area\">\n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/teams\/dr-riyad-moosa\/\">\n                                <h6 class=\"name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/teams\/dr-riyad-moosa\/\">Dr Riyad Moosa<\/a><\/h6>\n                            <\/a>\n                        \t\t\t\t\t\t                            <span class=\"designation\">\n                                Biography                            <\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Hidden PupupBox Text -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"rs_popupBox6_2\" class=\"rspopup_style1 mfp-with-anim mfp-hide\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"rsteam_img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"389\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1.png 389w, https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1-241x300.png 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" \/>\t\n\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-7\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"rsteam_content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"team-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"team-heading\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t<h3 class=\"team-name\" >Dr Riyad Moosa<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t<span class=\"team-title\" >Biography<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"team-des\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t<h3>Keynote Address:<\/h3>\r\n<h4>\u00a0The Interpersonal Architect: Redefining the Educator\u2019s Role in the Age of AI<\/h4>\r\n<p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;>Higher education faces a pressing question: as artificial intelligence reshapes teaching and learning, what becomes of the educator? This presentation argues that the educator&#039;s role is not disappearing but becoming more human, not less. Drawing on a published two-year classroom study involving 127 university students, the Interpersonal Architect is introduced as a framework that repositions the educator in AI-enhanced higher education as a learning designer, human connector, and ethical guide. Rather than replacing the educator, AI tools can free them from routine content delivery, creating space for the work that only a human can do. This presentation demonstrates that with standard institutional resources, any educator can scale multimodal learning across visual, auditory, reading and writing, and kinesthetic pathways without burning out and without surrendering pedagogical control. Grounded in real classroom evidence, honest reflection, and student voices, the work ultimately asks what higher education looks like when educators choose to lead AI integration rather than follow it. The answer begins with one classroom, one educator, and one decision to become an Interpersonal Architect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t  \n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker Lila Thompson Director of Company Lila Thompson Director of Company Speaker Dr Riyad Moosa Biography Dr Riyad Moosa Biography Keynote Address: The Interpersonal Architect Transforming Higher Education with AI-Supported Pedagogy Higher education faces the challenge of using digital technologies to create accessible environments for diverse students while many academics worry about how artificial intelligence&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6412","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6412"}],"version-history":[{"count":49,"href":"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8136,"href":"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6412\/revisions\/8136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/myres.net\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
