"Connecting: Why Universities
Must Foster Engagement"

     
         
 

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.
