Changes
in demographics, technology, competition, and expectations are all
coming together to alter the way higher education operates. The
importance of extending our intellectual expertise and resources
beyond our campuses has never been more apparent. The tripartite
mission of teaching, research, and service that is the tradition
of so many of America's universities has repeatedly proven its value
to the progress of this nation and will give our institutions a
leg up in reaching a new level of engagement with the American public.
