The Wit, the Will, & the Wallet

The Association of American Colleges and Universities Event
Location: Washington, D.C.
January 20 - January 23, 2010
Today’s economic uncertainties challenge all of us to be creative in meeting our commitments to students. These uncertainties also make even more urgent the need for us to prepare all students to thrive in a turbulent and fluid world.

Now, more than ever, AAC&U members are championing the value of a liberal education for individual students as well as for a nation dependent on economic creativity and democratic vitality. Colleges, universities, state systems and other partners are engaging the public and the academy with core questions about what really matters in college, using new clarity about essential learning outcomes to organize their efforts to pursue educational excellence, assess learning, and align school with college and goals with practices.

Efforts to sustain creative innovation and address the future of liberal learning in a context of dramatic change are evident within all sectors of the higher education community. We invite you to share your best efforts to translate educational vision into concrete practices.

Together, Annual Meeting participants will frankly assess the progress we have made and define the challenges that remain as we imagine—and shape—our possible futures.

We look forward to seeing you in Washington, DC.
