UCEA 94th Annual Conference

April 1 - 4, 2009

Boston, MA

Boston Marriott Copley Place

Join us in beautiful Boston for the UCEA 94th Annual Conference! The theme of the 2009 UCEA Conference is Transcending Boundaries.

Transcending Boundaries

This conference brings together some 800 continuing higher education professionals for sessions addressing broad topics of interest to the profession as well as special sessions and workshops focused on particular areas of interest, including distance learning, quality assurance, leadership, marketing, programming for older adults, and research, to name just a few."

Professional and continuing education has much to offer in these demanding times, as we are the people in higher education who know how to work-and thrive-at the boundaries: boundaries between our institutions and the world near and far; between the established and the experimental; between risk and reward. Our acquired skills in perceiving, negotiating, and transcending boundaries puts on us an important obligation, and opens to us a special opportunity, to lead in defining and addressing the needs of students, institutions and communities in this rapidly evolving world.

Toward those ends, we have identified seven Conference tracks:

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT—Transcending University/Community Boundaries
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT—Collaborating to Build a Competitive Workforce
EDUCATION IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD—Promoting Globally Competent Citizens
CHANGING CURRICULA—Blending Programs and Services in a Hybrid Environment
ACCOUNTABILITY—Advancing Quality Assurance and Improvement
INNOVATION—Reaping the Benefits of a More Connected World
MARKETING INTELLIGENCE—Keeping in Touch with Changing Student Needs
