Imagine America Foundation/Center for Excellence in Education Symposium
Organizer: Jenny Faubert
Description:
The first IAF/Center for Excellence in Education Symposium was held in Burr Ridge, IL from October 12 -13, 2010.
Every year at the annual Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) Advisory Meeting, we run out of time and are unable to discuss all the interesting attendee topics. For this reason, the Imagine America Foundation decided to expand the meeting into a one and a half day Symposium.
Topics discussed at the IAF/Center for Excellence in Education Symposium included:
- Session 1: Student Retention
- Session 2: Leadership in a Changing Educational Landscape
- Session 3: Faculty Selection, Retention and Development
- Session 4: Maximizing Faculty Performance
- Session 5: Negotiated Rule Making and Gainful Employment
- Session 6: Outcomes Assessment and Quality Assurance
This was one of the first times academic leaders in the career college space were brought together to discuss issues and come up with solutions for each of the listed topics.
Brief description: This group was created to provide information on the IAF/CEE Symposium. Here you will find all the presentations and notes. Additionally we would like to keep the conversation going, so please feel free to make comments and forward to peers.

So I'm curious how changes in the sector impact the hiring profile and developmental needs of employees at career colleges. In other words, will we seek a different skill set than we have in the past? Any thoughts?

The IAF/CEE Symposium: A Venue for Both Best Practices and Vision

As one who participated in the recent IAF/CEE Symposium in Burr Ridge, IL, I came away from the experience with even more enthusiasm about the important position career colleges and universities hold in the education and skills training of today's adult learner. Not only were best practices shared in student retention; faculty selection, development and performance; student outcomes assessment; and educational leadership, but participants discussed practical and strategic solutions to the current challenges that our schools face. It is very apparent to me that my colleagues at the symposium share a personal passion for education, a commitment to their institution's missions, and most importantly a vision for the future of our sector of higher education.
