Who Will Achieve Social Change? What Do Foundations Expect from Colleges? These questions will frame the 17th annual CIC Conversation Between Foundation Officers and College and University Presidents. It will take place on Monday, September 19, 2005, in New York City. TIAA-CREF once again has generously made available the Clifton A. Wharton Auditorium at its headquarters on the east side of Manhattan. The meeting will explore the effectiveness of independent colleges and universities as agents of social change in the context of their relationships with foundations. The Conversation will include three plenary sessions, each with brief presentations and with ample time for discussion. The schedule also includes opportunities for informal conversations between foundation officers and college presidents. Speakers will include Martha D. Lamkin, president, Lumina Foundation for Education; Matthew J. Quinn, executive director, Jack Kent Cooke Foundation; Anita M. Pampusch, president, Bush Foundation; Thomas Hellie, executive director, James S. Kemper Foundation; Eugene M. Tobin, program officer, Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; and Donna Heiland, vice president for programs, Teagle Foundation. By mid-August, more than 130 CIC member presidents had already registered for the event. Registration is limited and soon may be closed. For more information, click here. Independent |
