Presidential Leadership and Vision: The Next 50 Years

include some retrospection, while the program will emphasize key challenges
and opportunities that presidents frequently encounter today and will
surely face in the future. Speakers and sessions will address a range
of issues such as:
- New international dimensions
- Challenges of board relations and leadership in team building
- Pressing needs for more effective fundraising and revenue-
generation strategies
- Admissions and America’s new demography
- Critical decisions about marketing and branding, pricing and student
aid
- New approaches to financial management
- Accountability, assessment, and accreditation
- Personal choices about vocation, renewal, and stages in presidential
career trajectories

Plenary Speakers
 Keynote
Address - The President as Educator-in-Chief
James T. Laney is President Emeritus of Emory University
and former United States Ambassador to the Republic of Korea. He has also
served as Dean of the Candler School of Theology at Emory University,
taught at Harvard University and Vanderbilt University, and is a member
of the Council on Foreign Relations. His keynote presentation will argue
that the
role of educator should be paramount in a president’s thinking and
self-image. Seeing oneself as above all an educator will lend moral authority
to the office, a dimension easily lost in today’s results-driven
world.
Keynote Address: Wednesday, January 4, 5:00–6:15
p.m.
 Plenary
Presentation - Ways that Presidents Can Encourage Engaged Learning
George Kuh is Chancellor’s Professor of Higher
Education and Director of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
at Indiana University. His presentation will be based on a recent, in-depth
study of 20 institutions that have excelled in nurturing student success,
including a number of private colleges and universities, reported in Student
Success in College: Creating Conditions that Matter (2005). This
study highlights the key role that presidents play in establishing a climate
of engaged learning on campuses. Respondent: John Strassburger, President,
Ursinus College.
Plenary Presentation: Thursday,
January 5, 8:30–9:45 a.m.
 Plenary
Presentation - Adjusting Our Global Compass
Humphrey R. Tonkin, President Emeritus, University of
Hartford, will speak on internationalizing college and university campuses.
What does it mean to be an international institution in the 21st century?
Whether the world is round or flat, the cartography of institutions must
reflect new global realities and opportunities. Each campus’ definition
of “internationalization” will have a significant impact on
the educational programs and the students we serve. This session will
address the larger context for international education and the ways in
which liberal arts colleges might set their global compass. Respondent:
Ellen Hurwitz, President, American University-Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan).
Plenary Presentation: Friday, January 6, 10:00–11:15
a.m.
 Closing
Plenary Presentation -
The Challenges of Leadership Development in Higher Education
Linda A. Hill, Wallace Brett Donham Professor of Business
Administration at the Harvard Business School, will speak on the role
of leaders in preparing organizations for significant change. At the Harvard
Business School, she is chair of the Organizational Behavior unit, faculty
chair of the Leadership Initiative, and faculty chair of the Young Presidents’
Organization Presidents’ Seminar. She is the author of Becoming
a Manager: How New Managers Master the Challenges of Leadership (2003).
Her presentation will draw on her work at a wide range of organizations,
including Cabot Corporation, General Electric, IBM, Novo Nordisk, Molex
International, the National Bank of Kuwait, and Morgan Stanley. She currently
serves as a trustee of Bryn Mawr College and the Boston Children’s
Museum.

Limited Enrollment
Sessions
A Confidential Seminar: Case Studies in the Presidency
Wednesday–Friday, January 4–6, 1:30–4:00 p.m.
Every president faces a number of difficult decisions about complex issues—complex
because they have true significance for the institution, frequently involve
multiple constituencies, and often promise unpleasant consequences both
anticipated and unanticipated. Yet presidents rarely have opportunities
for candid reflection on these situations with others who have confronted
similar dilemmas. Participation in each seminar will be limited to no
more than 12 presidents and all participants will be expected to hold
the entire seminar in confidence. To participate, presidents must be prepared
to present an actual case from their own experience (either a written
one-page statement or four-minute oral presentation). Participants will
reflect together on the resolution and attendant consequences of each
case. The goal of this seminar is for each president to gain a deeper
understanding of decision-making strategies.
All presidents who have registered for the Institute will be given an
opportunity, approximately a month prior to the Institute, to register
for these sessions via e-mail. There is no additional fee for the seminar.
