Voices of Expertise & Experience: Insights to Inform Responses to COVID-19’s Impact on Financial Security and Higher Education

The TIAA Institute is publishing informed perspectives that may serve to guide strategic planning and decisions arising from the pandemic. The authors for a series of briefs –who are Institute Fellows, leading scholars and subject matter experts–draw from existing Institute research and subject matter expertise to share ideas and insights that inform innovative thinking and decision making as people around the nation focus on a path to both personal and institutional recovery. Other pieces that are longer are also included to bring forward expert voices tapped through Institute interviews and discussions with leading thinkers.

Covered topics include the effects on recent graduates, retirement savers, faculty retirement decisions, and how institutional leaders are confronting intensified operational and strategic challenges. New perspectives will be added throughout the year.

Read the briefs and other content linked below for insights on what higher education institutions and individuals need to consider when navigating responses to COVID-19’s risks and opportunities, and ways to promote financial security in the midst of increased market volatility and financial shocks.
