Registration Announced for Presidents' Forum
The Presidents' Forum, hosted by Excelsior College, provides both traditional and non-traditional institutions the opportunity to exchange knowledge and perceptions of current models and tools for successful operation in an online environment.
The Presidents' Forum has established an annual program to consider pressing issues affecting all sectors of higher education. It is expected that, through the Forum, institutions will be assisted in enhancing their available resources through new partnerships, collaborations, and learning networks that support desired change in the structure of higher education.
The Forum will continue to seek opportunities to disseminate leadership learning through presentations at regional and national meetings of partner organizations and will maintain this Web site to share information, encourage appropriate change, and shape the focus of its continuing dialogue.
This year, the Forum’s annual meeting theme will center on “Charting a Course for Online Higher Education Through Rough Seas.” Given all of the recent regulatory and oversight interest from many quarters, the Forum will focus on addressing the question, “Are we content with where we are at present?”
The Mission of the Presidents' Forum is to advance the recognition of innovative practice and excellence in online learning. This is accomplished by providing a venue for leaders in higher education and stakeholders to share their knowledge and learn from others' best practices.
More information about the meeting, including registration details, is available below.
