Cal State
Fullerton President Milton A. Gordon has been tapped for two
national speaking engagements this month that focus on challenges
in higher education.
Gordon was invited to be part of
a panel of university presidents and deans who are gathering
March 28 in Chicago to discuss the roles and expectations
for continuing education leaders at a time of increasing demands
and diminishing resources.
The Cal State Fullerton president
also is scheduled to serve as moderator at the Hispanic Association
of Colleges and Universities' 2003 National Capitol Forum
on Hispanic Higher Education to be held a few days later in
Washington, D.C.

Gordon will be joined in Chicago at the
annual meeting of the University Continuing Education Association
by the presidents of DePaul, Weber State and Cardean universities
and University of Maryland University College. They're scheduled
to take part in a Socratic dialogue following a presentation by
Pat Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and
Higher Education.
Callan will discuss some of the trends
shaping higher education; the panelists will examine the leadership
implications of major changes in higher education. Their joint session
is intended “to explore some of the challenges and opportunities
facing higher education, in general, and continuing education, in
particular,” noted event organizer Michael J. Offerman of
Capella University. “Affordability and access become even
more challenging as we consider traditional limitations on student
mobility between institutions at a time when participation patterns
and technology result in many learners earning credits from various
providers,” he added.
Gordon will go next to the nation's capital
for the HACU event, where he will moderate a March 31 panel session
on “Higher Education Act Reauthorization and Title IV.”
Members of Congress and the U.S. Department of Education have been
invited to address this session. Panelists will explore student
financial aid and immigration provisions of the Higher Education
Act and HACU's proposed HEA reauthorization agenda.
