This Tuesday, Dec. 4 at noon in room 3001 of the Jean and Charles Schulz Information Center will be the final session in the 40th Anniversary Lecture Series "Who We Are: Conversations on 40 Years at Sonoma State." This final discussion will look towards the future as audience members discuss thoughts, concerns and hopes about the future of higher education.
Bernie Goldstein, Provost, will facilitate the final session by asking the audience to share thoughts on some of the following topics:
-- how technology is/has changed the curriculum
-- dealing with continuing budget cuts, but maintaining the highest standards
-- how professional schools such as Heald College and the University of Phoenix have affected more traditional types of higher education
-- distance learning and its future
-- the need for external funding (and corporatization) of higher education in this country
-- how a large body of retiring faculty might shift the curriculum, or its way of presentation
The discussion will be video-taped for future use.
This event is free although there is a $2.50 parking permit to park on campus. For further information call (707) 664-4240
