'''What Do We Think Aspiring CHRO’s Need to Know and How Do We Prepare Them Jack Giarusso Executive Director, Human Resources & Labor/Employee Relations University of Massachusetts Lowell'''

These are interesting and challenging times for Higher Education. We are living in a time of regular and significant change. Perhaps nowhere in an organization is that level and frequency of change felt more than in Human Resources. Externally, there are the changing demographics of potential students, our parents and students are seeking a clear value proposition for the tuition they’re paying and regulation and compliance issues seem to come with increasing regularity. Internally, there are also the changing demographics of our staff and faculty, competing forces on our campuses for decreasing resources, and we are continually asked to do the same or more with less. Being a CHRO means that at one time or another all of these interesting and challenging events will touch you. Do our CHRO’s have what they need to thrive in this environment? How do we help those aspiring to become CHRO's be prepared to succeed into their new positions and the challenges they face?
