MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE LEARNING COLLEGE SUMMIT!


JUNE 11-14, 2005
OAK BROOK HILLS RESORT
OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS

Now in its third year, the League's Learning Summit has joined with the successful Vanguard Learning College Conference, held last year in Toronto, to form the Learning College Summit. Plans are fully under way for this exciting new gathering, to be held June 11-14, 2005, at the Oak Brook Hills Resort in Oak Brook, Illinois. The 2005 Summit is being hosted by Moraine Valley Community College (IL) and Maricopa County Community College District (AZ).

The Learning College Summit will devote a half-day each to the following five focus areas:
        * Organizational Culture
        * Staff Recruitment and Development
        * Learning Outcomes
        * Student Engagement
        * Technology

The 2005 Learning College Summit has the following goals:
*  Provide a comfortable setting for educators to share the successes and challenges of transforming institutions to become more *  powerfully focused on learning.

*  Increase understanding of the concepts of the Learning College as a framework and inspiration for affecting institutional change to improve student learning, performance, and success.

*  Provide a forum for the exchange of innovative processes and approaches to transforming undergraduate education and improving institutional student outcomes.

*  Facilitate participant interaction and development of new networks of colleagues who support Learning College concepts.

If you want to learn more about the process of transforming the structures, procedures, and practices of your institution to focus on producing meaningful and successful student learning, the 2005 Learning College Summit will give you an opportunity to hear from colleagues about their successful ideas, approaches, and experiences, and to share your own experiences with others.
