AAC&U officers and staff
regularly travel throughout the country, and occasionally
the world, to speak and consult at AAC&U member schools
through seminars, institutes, and workshops as well as in
more informal gatherings. AAC&U staff also regularly speak
on the value of liberal education at various media and public
affairs events. These meetings are an opportunity for the
membership to influence the direction of AAC&U's initiatives.
We look forward to seeing you the next time we are on your
campus.
On October 27, Alma Clayton-Pedersen, vice
president for education and institutional renewal at AAC&U,
attended a session sponsored by the National Consortium for
Continuous Improvement in Higher Education (NCCI), an organization
devoted to “advancing excellence through effective organizational
practices.” The goal of this meeting was to bring together
NCCI’s sixty member institutions to explore how associations
might work together for greater institutional effectiveness.

On December 2-3, President
Carol Geary Schneider visited Antioch College in Yellow
Springs, Ohio, to participate in a meeting of the Renewal Commission
for Antioch College, which was established earlier this year
by the Board of Trustees of Antioch University to develop a
plan, strategy and timetable for the renewal of the college.
