Fostering a culture of belonging in international higher education with Nick Gozik

Being part of the education system has always been prestigious and is a confirmation of one's excellence. But, as with every business, universities must look outside the box to find the best candidates. In addition, the current business climate forces educational institutions to redefine hiring as employees' perceptions and employment preferences have changed.

Therefore, we invited Nick Gozik, Dean of Global Education at Elon University, to discuss the challenges of building an international education office team. Nick and our host Travis Ulrich discuss how universities approach hiring, onboarding, and employee retention. They also touch upon flexibility and remote work and reveal whether they are possible in systems such as university administrations. 

Finally, Nick explains why educational institutions must work on diversity and inclusion to attract the best candidates. Nick also shares details of two e-books he’s currently working on. One is about building a culture that nurtures diversity, enabling staff to give their best self to the organization, and the other is about partnerships between institutions on a local and international level.
