Higher education traditionally relies on specialized structures, with departments and divisions that promote deep focus within a single field. This setup offers professionals a strong sense of identity and community. However, it can also limit exposure to the most innovative work happening across the campus. Taking an interdisciplinary approach doesn't require abandoning your core expertise; instead, it involves learning how to adapt and apply your skills across different organizational boundaries.
