A Monthly Live Webinar on the Issues Shaping Higher Education

In our free Daily Briefing Live webinar series, Chronicle journalists Sarah Brown and Rick Seltzer unpack the most important developments affecting colleges and universities. They’ll answer your questions about the stories and trends shaping higher education.

On November 5, a special post-Election Day session will focus on what the midterms could mean for higher ed. Sarah and Rick will offer an early analysis of the results, including the implications for college funding, academic freedom, federal and state policy, and research.

The series continues on November 18, when Sarah and Rick will talk to David P. Cleary, Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander’s former chief of staff, about how the results are likely to play out in Washington. Our final session of 2026 will take place on December 16.

Sign up today to join us for all three live sessions. Questions from Chronicle subscribers will receive priority during each discussion.

...Today's event ended with a question for the guests: 'What gives you hope?' The Daily Briefing Live is what gives me hope. I look forward to each webinar. I learn a lot, because so much news and information is synthesized. But it's also presented in such a calm, rational, and — wherever possible — humorous way, that I find it soothes my higher-education anxiety.
