Tarter Krinsky & Drogin will sponsor the Commercial Observer’s Higher Education Forum, an event exploring strategies and innovations in academic planning and development. Sean T. Scuderi, partner and vice-chair of the Construction Practice, will moderate a panel discussion on Catalysts for Change: Designing Innovation Hubs That Bridge Higher Ed & Industry. The discussion will explore how leading universities such as Princeton, NYU, Columbia, Rutgers, and Stevens Institute of Technology are creating innovation hubs that redefine the boundaries between academia, industry, and community—fostering experiential learning, interdisciplinary research, entrepreneurial growth, and impactful partnerships that shape the future of higher education.

The Higher Education Forum will be held on October 8, 2025, at CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. Learn more and register here.
