Thriving in a Global Future: A Strategic Dialogue for US and UK
Higher Education Leaders
This meeting, which builds on two successful events in 2007 and 2008,
will explore the global, market-driven future and its implications for
institutions on both sides of the Atlantic. Approximately 30 chief
academic officers and other senior officers from the U.S. and their
equivalents from the U.K. will meet in Washington D.C. from July
14–16, 2009 to explore what a future might look like and
what it would take to prepare our institutions for it.
Central to the dialogue and exchange between U.S. and U.K. campus
leaders, will be an intensive discussion of specific future-focused
challenges participants are addressing. During the meeting they will
receive consultation from other leaders on the particular challenges and
opportunities they identify for discussion. The three-day leadership
dialogue will provide an opportunity for participants to think more
broadly and creatively about challenges of the global future, offer a
series of take-home ideas, and present a deeper understanding of another
leading higher education system.
Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to visit or host
colleagues for a visit at the conclusion of the meeting. A list of U.S.
participants willing to host colleagues from the U.K. will be circulated
well in advance of the meeting.
