When I look out into this
audience I see a room of campus leaders by the very nature of our
professional expertise and training I see generalists who think broadly
about student learning who see the connections between disciplines as well
as between research and teaching and between learning that happens within
the classroom and external to it I see organized, articulate, service
oriented professionals who know how to facilitate who are committed to
group process who are task oriented product driven and creative --I see strong collaborators thats why I
want to talk to you about collaborating at every angle -- and how in that
process - we are leaders in helping others rethink roles and restructure
learning on our campuses..
