Our commitment to quality content...
For our sessions, we invite HEUG member experts in Finance, HCM, Student Systems, CRM, Technical (and more!) with years of experience to present on all things Higher Education. They aren’t just experts, but also experienced professionals and speakers.
Thinking about becoming a presenter? We welcome proposals on a diverse range of topics, but we will consider any topic of interest to the HEUG community! Learn more about submitting a session.

We've lined up some great keynote speakers each day at Alliance. We hope they leave you eager to make positive changes by working hard, never giving up, and being ambitious. They'll be sharing their stories and personal insights because as we know, it is often easier said than done.

Wednesday

Doug Finley
Universities create tremendous positive impact on people, communities, and the world. We work at these institutions for the mission, but for many, our contributions are hard to see within the daily grind. This was my experience for many years. One key moment and some exploration of the organization allowed me to realize my impact is real and profound. By sharing what I've learned, I hope to inspire others to seek and discover that understanding wherever they are in their career. Presented by Doug Finley, Service Owner Storage and Hosting Services, University of Minnesota.
