Subject: The University is Dead! Long Live the University! Webcast
"The University is Dead! Long Live the University!" is the title of a
presentation that I am giving at the forthcoming World Future Society
(http://wfs.org) meeting July 19-23, 2002 in Philadelphia. It is a takeoff
on the words used by town criers in historic England upon the death of the
king and the forthcoming crowning of a new king, representing the change
of reigns. My theses for the presentation is that the forces of
demographics, globalization, economic restructuring, and information
technology are rapidly changing the landscape of higher education and are
leading us into new conceptions of institutional markets, how we teach,
and what we teach. There will be a question and answer session after the
presentation.
This session will be Webcast courtesy of ULiveandLearn
(www.uliveandlearn.com) on Sunday, July 21, 2002, at 11:00 AM EST. If you
cannot attend the WFS meeting in person, you are invited to attend this
presentation via the Webcast. Please go to
http://www.quickslides.com/quickreg/sq.cfm?ObjectID=470 to
signup for the Webcast and receive instructions as to how you can

first served basis.
BTW, if you are attending the conference, please consider joining me in a
pre-conference seminar titled, "'Futurizing' Your Organization." The

Many thanks.
