Presidents and Vice Presidents - Please Join Us For a Rich Dialogue Regarding the New Agenda of Higher Education October 20, 2011 University of Central Florida Alumni Bldg 3:30pm - 5:00pm University and college leaders must clearly communicate the urgency of the new higher education agenda: college completion and capabilities. Current college students need to complete degrees faster, degrees that have marketplace value and prepare students for lives as productive citizens. Liberal arts must be practical and career programs must be infused with creative and critical thinking. Productive employees and citizens need the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to communicate effectively and solve problems in a diversifying and more complex and networked world.

Our student volunteers made cards to honor wounded and active combat soldiers as well as local firefighters and police officers. AmeriCorps members promoted the value of service, inspiring several of the children to participate in the Adopt a Soldier Program and consider National Service in the future. These students will continue to be involved in volunteerism while enriching the lives of active military service personnel.

AAC&U’s 2012 Annual Meeting: SHARED FUTURES/DIFFICULT CHOICES Reclaiming a Democratic Vision for College Learning, Global Engagement, and Success January 25-28, 2012 Grand Hyatt Hotel Washington, DC Facing national and global challenges that demanded difficult choices, Commission members sought to reclaim a sense of shared future for a war-torn, nuclear age. If we imagine the educational goals such a Commission might highlight today, we confront a dangerous and potentially disastrous public narrowing of vision. Higher education is currently valued more for its economic and individual benefits than for its contributions to the common good. The resulting focus on market priorities has crowded out longestablished civic commitments. A twenty-firstcentury liberal education cannot afford to be neutral about democratic knowledge and global engagement. Are today’s global challenges less compelling or less urgent than those faced 65 years ago? Is the need to preserve and extend freedom less pressing today than it was then? AAC&U’s 2012 Annual Meeting will explore these questions and showcase examples from institutions that are successfully building upon democratic visions and practices in complex global contexts—visions and practices that are shaping institutional missions, improving undergraduate education, and challenging narrow definitions of success.

Are you looking for a way to show how individual partnerships complement each other and contribute to plans to achieve greater overall community and institutional goals? Community Capitals is a framework that facilitates planning for and measuring community or organizational change. It is currently used around the world by community development practitioners and by researchers of asset-based development. Cornelia B. Flora, one of the originators of this framework, will present the concepts of natural, cultural, human, social, political, financial and built capital and how they work together to sustain healthy ecosystems, economic security, and social well-being.

She is author and editor of a number of recent books. Her newest book is Rural Communities: Legacy and Change, Second Edition. Her current research addresses alternative strategies of community development and community-based natural resource management in the light of changing sociotechnical regimes and climate change. Her Bachelor of Arts degree is from the University of California at Berkeley in 1965 and her M.S. (1966) and Ph.D. (1970) degrees are from Cornell University.
