Conference Theme

Leadership for the 21st Century Campus

The 21st century has been called the Pacific Century. North American colleges and universities at the edge of the Pacific are well-positioned both geographically and intellectually to guide, influence, and lead this shift in global focus. The SCUP regional conference in Palo Alto will address institutional leadership: the ways in which our member campuses, consultants, and professional associates are preparing to lead planning for campuses for the next 50 years.

With the flattening of organizations, leadership will be critical at all levels of our institutions. How do we provide leadership without titles and hierarchy? How can we, representing colleges, universities, professional organizations, and consultants provide leadership on the planet's most intractable issues? How does personal leadership mesh with institutional goals? What initiatives are we leading—or planning to lead—that will push us all to achieve society's higher aspirations?

At the SCUP 2011 Pacific Regional Conference, Father Stephen Sundborg, president of Seattle University, described two types of leaders: conductors of orchestras and captains of ships. In considering these two models—and others—this year, in Palo Alto, we, 21st century campus planners, will share, question, and explore opportunities and challenges for colleges and universities in the Pacific Century.

A MESSAGE ABOUT THIS YEAR’S SOLD OUT PACIFIC REGIONAL CONFERENCE

Dear SCUP Members and Interested Others:

For the second time only, we have sold out the SCUP Pacific Regional Conference. Our wait list is also now closed. No onsite registration will be available for the SCUP 2012 Pacific Regional Conference.

Your patience and understanding is appreciated. For those of you who will be unable to join us for the SCUP 2012 Pacific Regional Conference in Palo Alto, we do ask you to consider participation in other regional events that are offered year-round, specifically:

• Registration is open for the SCUP 2012 Pacific Symposium, "Developing Integrated Campus Master Plans to Match Changing Higher Education Imperatives," May 4, 2012, at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.
   
• Step I (March 25) - SCUP Planning Institute Workshop - Space still available. This workshop is in conjunction with the SCUP 2012 Pacific Regional Conference but you do not need to register for the conference to attend this Step.

Over the past several years we have achieved multiple objectives with your support:

• Increasing attendance at events
• Increased number of events (annual regional conference and one-day symposia)
• Increased support from Regional Sponsors
• Increased financial support (scholarships) for institutional members
• Increased volunteerism
• Continued outstanding quality programs and professional development opportunities
• Improved communications including our 360 Regional Newsletter and Linked in Group.

We look forward to your continued engagement. Please refer to our Pacific Regional Webpage for announcements and opportunities.

Very truly yours,
John O. White
