READY OR NOT: Global Challenges, College Learning, and America’s Promise
SUSTAINABILITY:  Place, Responsibilities, and the Curriculum AAC&U’s Annual Meetings provide opportunities for participants to examine the relationship between college learning and society.  In recent years, we have collectively insisted that attention to the tradition, language, and practice of liberal education is critical if we hope to meet the many challenges of the world today.  Our failure to fully engage our publics with the kinds of learning best suited to our current needs persists even as the creative energies, widespread innovations, and intentional efforts of campuses across the nation are signaling resurgence in the vitality and relevance of liberal education.

General Education, Assessment, and the Learning Students Need
Network for Academic Renewal Conference
Baltimore, Maryland
This conference will help campuses align General Education vision and action, including action to assess and strengthen students’ cumulative learning.  The four conference tracks are organized around one or more “big questions” related to philosophical and practical challenges facing campuses today and an expectation of evidence—the ability to show “what’s working” and why. http://www.aacu.org/meetings/generaleducation/index.cfm

National Conference on Student Leadership

The theme of the National Conference on Student Leadership's spring 2009 Boston conference is Find Your Balance. We all have the same 24 hours a day (and 7 days a week) to balance our responsibilities. Learn from nationally renowned speakers who will give you their insight on balance. Network with hundreds of student leaders and advisors to share your thoughts on how you handle (and balance) your daily schedule. We hope you'll find this conference hands-on and helpful and you'll take back lots of ideas to your campus, but also put those ideas into practice in your daily life.
