SUCCESSFUL INSTITUTIONS A CHANGING WORLD
IN
S
essions will address presidential leadership in response to the new challenges of a changing world. Dimensions of the changing world to be explored include the evolving economic and financial climate, the technological influences on the new student generation, and the president’s role in communicating these changes and in setting an institution on course for success.
PLENARY SPEAKERS William Damon is Director of the Center on Adolescence and Professor of Education at Stanford University. Previously he was University Professor and Director of the Center for the Study of Human Development at Brown University. For the past seven years, he and collaborators Howard Gardner and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi have been studying “good work”—work that is both excellent and ethical—in several key professions, including higher education. This presentation will address particular pressures affecting higher education today, will identify both risks and opportunities that contemporary pressures pose to the educational mission, and explore the ways that some college and university administrators are adapting to them. Keynote address: Sunday, January 4, 5:00-6:00 p.m. William G. Bowen, President, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and former President, Princeton University will discuss new research about intercollegiate athletics. His book, co-authored with Sarah Levin, Reclaiming the Game, argues for renewed attention to the relationship at many institutions between students' academic performance and participation in sports. Two presidents who have been active on the Presidents Councils of NAIA and NCAA Division III will offer responses: James Dennis, President, McKendree College and Philip Stone, President, Bridgewater College. Monday, January 5, 8:30-9:45 a.m. Diana Oblinger is Executive Director of Higher Education for Microsoft Corporation. She has previously been Senior Fellow at the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research, Chief Information Officer of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system, and IBM Director of the Institute for Academic Technology.

Previously, he was president and CEO of AllLearn, a nonprofit venture of Oxford, Stanford, and Yale Universities to develop online learning opportunities, and President and Chief Operating Officer of Merrill Lynch & Co.

SPECIAL WORKSHOPS
CASE STUDIES IN THE PRESIDENCY: A CONFIDENTIAL SEMINAR Every president faces a number of difficult decisions about complex issues—complex because they have true significance for the institution, frequently involve multiple constituencies, and often promise unpleasant consequences both known and unknown. Yet presidents rarely have opportunities for candid reflection on these situations with others who have confronted similar dilemmas. This new feature of the Presidents Institute is based on a highly successful pilot seminar conducted this past summer. Participation will be limited to no more than 12 presidents and all participants will be expected to hold the entire seminar in confidence. To participate, presidents must be prepared to present an actual case from their own experience (either a written one-page statement or four-minute oral presentation). Participants will reflect together on the resolution and attendant consequences of each case. The goal of this seminar is for each president to gain deeper understandings of decision strategies. The seminar will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. on either Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday afternoons (January 4-6). Please check the appropriate boxes on the Institute registration form to sign up and indicate preferences of day. There is no additional fee for the seminar. Moderator: Ann Hayes Die, Managing Director, Academic Search Consultation Service, and President Emeritus, Hendrix College
AIM HIGH: THE ART
OF
ASKING
This workshop will focus on how to ask for major gifts—a critical element of successful fundraising as well as a source of presidential anxiety. Topics to be addressed include appropriate preparation, setting up the appointment, reasons that prospects do not make gifts, determining the right amount, and ways to listen for the gift. The session will feature a listening exercise and role playing. The workshop will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday afternoon, January 5. Advance registration is not required. There is no additional fee for the workshop. Leader: Jerold Panas, Executive Partner & CEO, Jerold Panas, Linzy & Partners

President-to-President At its core, the Presidents Institute is designed to provide multiple opportunities for presidents to share ideas with presidents of similar institutions. The formal program includes sessions led by presidents, not only to share effective institutional practices but also to discuss open-ended issues. In addition, the Institute builds into the schedule a variety of networking opportunities, including dinners and recreation.
Individual Consultations Opportunities will again be provided for individuals to hold confidential conversations with various speakers and sponsors, including retirement planners from TIAA-CREF and the director of CIC’s Presidents Consulting Service.
Presidential Forums Begun under CIC's Presidential Forums program, a number of ongoing presidential groups will convene in conjunction with the Institute. All of these meetings will be by invitation only.

NEW PRESIDENTS WORKSHOP
Immediately prior to the Presidents Institute, CIC will again sponsor a day-and-a-half workshop for recently appointed college leaders, typically in their first or second year. Workshop leaders are experienced presidents and other experts. The workshop also affords opportunities for new presidents (and spouses) to meet and share ideas with others who are new to the presidency. Uniquely focused on the needs of leaders of smaller private colleges and universities, the New Presidents Workshop consistently earns high marks for value and quality from its participants.

DEVELOPING NEW SOURCES OF REVENUE: LOOKING BEYOND TUITION AND PRIVATE GIFTS Colleges and universities raise revenue in many ways, with tuition and private gifts being principal sources in most independent institutions. Yet many institutions have embarked on imaginative ventures that bring additional revenue. This workshop will feature in-depth case studies by presidents and other experts, sharing success stories as well as cautionary notes from their own experiences. Three types of initiatives will be discussed: ■
Partnerships with a range of organizations, including businesses, nonprofit organizations, and other colleges;
■
New markets, programs, and delivery systems; and
■
Leveraging institutional assets such as land or facilities.
The workshop will address the range of issues raised by these ventures, from initial investments, accreditation, cost structures, and intellectual property, to likely revenue returns. Particular case studies being developed include: delivery of programs with international partners, small business incubators, professional football team’s use of practice facilities, corporate CEOs’ use of meeting and retreat facilities, adult accelerated learning programs, partnerships with organizations that develop programs for teachers and teacher trainers, and cooperation with a research university on a national program for teachers. Approximately 12 case studies will be offered, and each workshop participant will be able to select four in-depth studies. Sign up for this workshop on the Registration Form (page 17).
