AACU Invites Proposals for 2008 Conference
The Association of American Colleges and Universities is now inviting submissions for their 2008 Annual Meeting to be held January 23-26, 2008 in Washington, DC. The theme is “Intentional Learning, Unscripted Challenges: Knowledge and Imagination for an Interdependent World.” The conference will consider questions such as:
- What do college graduates need to know and be able to do to thrive in an unpredictable future?
- How can institutions demonstrate that students are actually achieving the kinds of learning they need for life, work, and citizenship?
- How are institutions structured — internally and externally — to build real-world capabilities that empower students to apply their knowledge to complex real-world challenges?
Proposals can be submitted online through July 23, 2007. Please see www.aacu.org/meetings/annualmeeting for complete information. If you have questions, feel free to e-mail hyers@aacu.org or call the AACU Conference organizers at 202-387-3760.
