The UCEA 93rd Annual Conference “Inspiration, Creativity, Innovation — and All That Jazz” will be held on March 26-29, 2008. This conference promises to embody the creativity, innovation and the spirit of renewal that is blossoming anew in our host city of New Orleans.
We know only too well how quickly and dramatically our landscape can change. In continuing higher education, we must respond to a changing environment with agility and flexibility. We need to effectively scan community, national and international environments to develop programming that meets ever changing economic, educational, cultural and social needs. |
The following renewal tracks are designed to address changing needs for professional development, institutions, learners, and policy:
- Track One — The Musicians: Professional Development
- Track Two — The Ensemble: Our Institutions
- Track Three — The Audience: Our Community of Learners
- Track Four — The Score: Politics and Policy
