WHAT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FACE POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION?
The US Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education is hosting
regional meetings to get your thoughts on questions including:
How can the Department better serve all those who have a stake in American
postsecondary education?
What are the most significant opportunities and challenges facing American
postsecondary education in the next 5 years?
Meetings will be held:
April 5 at The Colonnade Boston in Boston, MA
April 26 at Wyndham Dallas Market Center in Dallas, TX
May 2 at Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, CA
May 10 at Wyndham Atlanta Hotel in Atlanta, GA
College and university presidents and faculty, trade and proprietary school
executives, students, parents, community members, business and technology
leaders, and others interested in education are invited to attend. Or, you
may send your ideas to Kim A. Thompson at OPE_Agenda@ed.gov
In the fall of 2000, this effort, known as "The Agenda Project," will set
out an agenda for the federal role in postsecondary education that is
informed by advice gathered through these meetings, email, and other
outreach efforts. For details about the meetings and The Agenda Project,
please see www.ed.gov/OPEAgenda/.
