Trends in Higher Education Conference 2004--The Future (Feb 20-22, 2004)

Where is university-level education heading? The president of the nation's largest private university for working adults in the United States, and one of the leading authorities responsible for managing which colleges and universities will receive regional accreditation join forces to lead an unprecedented initiative that assembles educators, thought-leaders, experts, etc., to explore this very issue -- the future of higher education in context of its changing landscape. "It's no secret that the challenges of higher education are increasing. The question is, 'Are we as educators poised to handle them?,'" says Dr. Laura Palmer Noone, president of University of Phoenix and keynote speaker during the event. "With the onset of diverse higher education options, now is the time for the industry to pause and align on synergistic approaches to address evolving student needs." www.phoenix.edu/trends2004
