Alternating between the Dahlonega and Gainesville campuses (see schedule below), participants will have the opportunity to meet with various members of the UNG community tasked with providing support for externally funded awards.

Constant Change: The Challenging Context of the 21st Century ~ George Mehaffy, Ph.D.
Sponsored by Academic Affairs
Technology, demographics, and economics are powerful forces of disruption that are challenging colleges and universities. Traditional missions, core assumptions, and ways of operating all have to be reconsidered in this era of transformation. How can colleges and universities survive and indeed thrive in this dramatically new environment?
George L. Mehaffy serves as the Vice President for Academic Leadership and Change at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) in Washington, D.C., a higher education association representing 400 public colleges and universities and their 3.8 million students. His division is responsible for developing and managing programs for member institutions in areas such as organizational change, civic engagement, leadership development, undergraduate education, technology, international education and teacher education. He works closely with university presidents and chief academic officers on a variety of national initiatives. Each year, his division organizes a number of conferences, including two national conferences each year for AASCU chief academic officers. He has directed a series of innovative projects, including international programs with China and Liberia; a technology transformation annual conference with EDUCAUSE and the University of Central Florida; and two major national studies of student success. In 2003, he launched the American Democracy Project, a civic engagement initiative involving 240 colleges and universities, in partnership with The New York Times. Most recently, he organized the Red Balloon Project, a national initiative to transform undergraduate education. Before coming to AASCU, he had more than twenty years of teaching and administrative experience in higher education in Texas, New Mexico, and California.
An identical session is being held at 2:00pm in the following rooms. For more information click here.

Presenter: Ben Wright, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
Students pour countless hours into coursework only to see the product of that labor result in a paper or exam which is either discarded or filed away in cabinet. This talk proposes that we consider ways to turn student learning into enduring monuments of achievement. Taking this approach can dissolve the boundaries of the classroom and enable students to make connections between their academic work an the wider world. Ben Wright has taught a series of courses that ask students to produce websites that archive and present student learning. Drawing on his experience as the editor of abolitionseminar.org, a NEH funded digital seminar for K-12 educators, Wright has worked with students in creating websites for a course on the rise and fall of Atlantic slavery, viewable at riseandfallofslavery.wordpress.com and the history of global apocalyptisicm, viewable at historyoftheend.wordpress.com. Hear more about his experiences and consider how you can integrate these models into your own classrooms.

Guest Lecturer: Lorilee Sandmann, P.h.D
Sponsored by Academic Affairs
An identical session will be held on the Cumming, Dahlonega, and Gainesville campuses by video-teleconference at 10:00am.
Sandmann will discuss how increasingly universities must address local and global complex issues by engaging with key stakeholders outside the academy. This engagement takes the form of mutually beneficial partnerships that produce and apply knowledge–a high-impact practice known as community engagement. For academic scholars and staff involved, this means applying their expertise and involving their students in real-world problems and collaborating with peers in other sectors who also bring their knowledge and wisdom to the table. Know about community engagement as a strategy for UNG to be a regional force and the implications for your work, discipline, and campus.
Sandmann is a professor in the Department of Lifelong Education, Administration, & Policy, in the College of Education and a fellow with the Institute of Higher Education at The University of Georgia as well as the editor of the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement. Based on her research, she has published widely in journals such as Review of Higher Education, Journal of Higher Education, Innovative Higher Education, Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, and Change, among others. Her latest book is Institutionalizing Community Engagement in Higher Education: The First Wave of Carnegie Classified Institutions (Sandmann, Thornton, & Jaeger, 2009).
Dr. Sandmann has been inducted into the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame, was president of the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, chaired what is now the Council of Engagement and Outreach for the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, and is on the National Advisory Committee for Community Engagement of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. She was awarded UGA’s Outstanding Faculty Scholarship of Engagement Award in 2012 and is the 2013 recipient of the Distinguished Researcher Award by the International Association for Research on Service Learning and Community Engagement. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in adult education and business management.
