2010 ACE Annual Meeting:
Of Special Interest to Participants from Abroad
The 2010 ACE Annual Meeting will take place March 6–9 in

and officials from the U.S. and other countries to build their networks,
examine key issues, and share solutions. In 2009, the ACE Annual Meeting
attracted more than 65 university presidents, vice presidents, rectors,
and directors as well as education ministry officials and embassy staff
from 23 countries.
Register here for the 2010 ACE Annual Meeting:
Meeting the Challenges Together
Sessions of Special Interest
While ACE Annual Meeting sessions are open to all registrants (with
the exception of events specifically designated as "invitation only")
the following may be of particular interest to international visitors
and U.S. campus leaders focused on internationalization.

Education

This 90-minute panel will focus on the newest thought and activities
at home and abroad that can inform policy and campus efforts to assess
the outcomes of higher education. Although all U.S. institutions are
required to show evidence that they are engaged in the assessment of
learning, these activities have not really coalesced—instead there
are "thousands of flowers blooming." Are there ways to better integrate
the many different approaches and conversations? Are there lessons from
other nations that have developed qualifications frameworks and more
systematic approaches to defining the outcomes of a degree or
program?
10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m.: Transforming Colleges and
Universities: Mission Impossible or the Handwriting on the
Wall?
-
Moderator: Sally Mason, President, the University
of Iowa

District of Columbia
Like many social organizations and systems, colleges and universities
are change-averse. Yet, some institutions have undergone a process of
intentional transformation, making changes that are both broad and deep,
and that position it to thrive in the future. This session will describe
the experiences of two U.S. institutions and one in Australia, exploring
the journeys of transformation, the role of leaders, and the lessons
learned.
Tuesday, March 9th
10–11:30 a.m.: At Home in the World: Creating
Connections Between Internationalization and Multicultural
Education
- Moderator: Yolanda Moses, Associate Vice Chancellor
, University of California, Riverside

Wooster
- Ding-Jo Currie, Chancellor, Coast Community College
District
- Daniel S. Papp, President, Kennesaw State
University
Co-sponsored by the National Association of Diversity
Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE)
Today's college graduates and citizens must be prepared for a world
of permeable borders and diverse cultures. They will experience cultural
difference and all its attendant complexities at home in their
communities; they live and work in a world where the pressing issues are
global in nature. Traditionally, higher education institutions have seen
internationalization as quite separate from the diversity issues we face
at home. Yet these two areas share common goals and can benefit from
closer engagement with each other. At the same time, sensitivities
abound, and neither field wants to submerge its identity or see the
dominance of one over the other. This session will address how
institutions can be creative and innovative in thinking afresh about the
overlap between internationalization and multi-cultural education.
