Colleges and Universities Worldwide:
The Waves of Change
D. Bruce Johnstone, Ph.D.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2014
3:00 – 4:00 PM
12 CAPEN HALL
Colleges and universities throughout the world differ in many ways: in admission standards; in differences between what are termed colleges and what are universities; in the break between undergraduate and graduate studies; in their acceptance or rejection of tuition fees and student loans; and in a myriad of other ways reflecting differences in histories, levels of economic development, and prevailing political ideologies. And yet higher education everywhere is also subject to many of the same challenges: soaring costs, strains upon public budgets, underprepared students, and (especially in middle- and low-income countries, surging enrollments on top of rising graduate unemployment—to name but a few.
You are invited to a lecture and discussion about these Waves of Change by SUNY Distinguished Service Professor, noted international higher education consultant, and former SUNY Chancellor, Dr. D. Bruce Johnstone.
This lecture, part of the University at Buffalo International Education Week events, is free and open to the public.
For questions, contact Dr. Namsook Kim at nkim3@buffalo.edu.
