Boston, MA (PRWEB) September 14, 2006 -- Some of the most respected, influential – and controversial – names in the higher education industry will gather soon to address many of the most challenging issues facing higher education at Eduventures’ Future of Higher Education in a Borderless World conference in Boston, MA, October 17-19 at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers.
Globalization, shifting demographics, the need for a more (and differently) educated workforce, increasing competition from traditional and emerging education providers, new technologies, increasing costs, and a rising cry for accountability and measurable outcomes are combining to change the concept and delivery of higher education. Addressing these issues will be some of the most esteemed, and often controversial, thought-leaders in the higher education space:
- Charles Miller, chairman, United States Commission on the Future of Higher Education and former chairman, Board of Regents for the University of Texas System
- Jennifer Washburn, fellow at the New America Foundation and author of the book University, Inc.
- Richard Vedder, professor of economics at Ohio University and member of the United States Commission on the Future of Higher Education
- P.V. Ramana, chairman of the Institute of Technology and Management in India
- Peter Stokes, executive vice president of Eduventures
- Jacqueline Moloney, dean of continuing studies and corporate education, UMass Lowell and executive in residence, UMassOnline
- Yasheng Huang, associate professor, MIT Sloan School of Management
- Stuart Sadick, senior partner at Heidrick and Struggles
- Emerson Foster, director of Talent Acquisition, Stop & Shop Supermarket Co.
- Charles Nolan, vice president of external relations and dean of admissions, Olin College of Engineering
- Richard Garrett, senior analyst at Eduventures
- Frank Mayadas, program director, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
“At Eduventures, we research, think about, and discuss the future of higher education day-in and day-out,” says Margaret Andrews, managing vice president of strategy and marketing at Eduventures, “so it was pretty natural for us to create an event on the subject and invite the world to join in the conversation. What we didn’t anticipate, though, was how large and international the audience would be.” The event already has attracted a large audience of influential professionals from across the industry and across the globe. “The topics are incredibly important and timely and have produced a participant lineup of heavy-hitters in the industry,” remarks Andrews. “We expect it will be quite a lively event.”
