Personal Objective This Morning To Get Each of You to Change Your Personal Behavior Tomorrow & Next Week (maybe even longer) because of an insight that you have reached for yourself as a consequence of spending the 60 minutes here. [Not Elegant: Only Important]

Schedule for this Session Where Wake Forest is Today What’s just over the horizon for Wake Forest Factors to consider when setting the plan for the next 5-10 years (participatory)

There will be Universities in the Future! Universities Adapt! 67/74 oldest institutions are universities!

Working Premise Overall demand for education will expand! Universities will continue to be a major provider The “University Role” will change!

Consequences for Wake Forest +SAT Scores & Class Ranks +Retention & Grad Rates +Satisfaction & Learning +Faculty Recruitment

Computers Enhance My Teaching/Learning Via-- Presentations Better--20% More Opportunities to Practice & Analyze--35% More Access to Source Materials via Internet--43% More Communication with Faculty Colleagues, Classmates, and Between Faculty and Students--87%

With Ubiquity--- The Culture Changes Mentality shifts-- like from public phone to personal phone. Teaching Assumptions shift-- like from books in the public library to everyone owns a copy of his/her own. Timelines shift-- like from “our class meets MWF” to “we see each other all the time and MWF we meet together” Students’ sense of access shifts-- like from “maybe I can get that book in the library” to “I have that book in my library.” Relationships shift-- like from a family living in many different states to all family members living in the same town
