Registrations for this year’s Presidents Institute, scheduled for January 4-7 in San Diego, are very strong. Though some of that interest can be attributed to the lure of the historic, oceanfront Hotel del Coronado, the program, “Successful Institutions in a Changing World,” features a plethora of topical and timely sessions, and a post-Institute workshop on developing new sources of revenue. Sessions include:

• Presentations on changes in the economy and in students
• Forum on the presidential role in public discourse
• Discussion with representatives of major media organizations
• Session on institutional brand management
• Discussion about tuition pricing
• Report on an ongoing national research project on “good work”
• Preview of the NCAA decisions about the role of athletics in education
• Explanations of two national savings plans expressly for private higher education
• Ideas about cost-savings strategies for physical plants
• Discussion of denominational relationships for faith-based institutions
• Exploration of fundraising strategies for the current economic climate
• Tips for involving board members in development
• Advice on building senior leadership teams
• Update on changes in corporate governance
• Discussion of several new sources of data on the effectiveness of
  private higher education

     Traditional features, including a workshop for new presidents and a professionally-oriented spouses program, are also included. Complete program and registration information is available on CIC’s website, www.cic.edu.
