President's Forum

A panel discussion with college/university presidents.

As part of our 5th year anniversary of Drexel University’s Annual Assessment Conference, we are sponsoring a President’s Panel to be held during our Thursday Luncheon in Behrakis Grand Hall in the Creese Student center on campus located at 3210 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104.

President John Fry of Drexel University will moderate the panel, which will include the Presidents of the Community College of Philadelphia, La Salle University, St. Joseph’s University and Temple University. The panel will provide an opportunity for conference attendees to solicit the Presidents’ perspectives on the future of higher education in light of advances in instructional delivery modalities, heightened federal regulatory compliance, enrollment troughs, budget compaction, etc. We are so pleased that the Presidents have agreed to add their insights and thoughts to this critical discussion. 

The Presidents will comment on the above topics in their opening statements and then respond to your questions from the floor. Your questions may touch on any area within the higher education environment.
