In this fast-paced, dynamic and sometimes startling presentation, Ken Steele synthesizes a vast array of research, news, trends and forecasts to provide an unparalleled "big picture" view of emerging trends reshaping higher education in Canada and around the world. Demographic shifts, social and political trends, evolving student learning styles and seismic change in the economy are forcing our country, our universities, our teachers and our parents to rethink traditional expectations for university admissions, programs, teaching and learning.

Ken is a renowned higher education futurist and consultant, who delivers hundreds of presentations every year to college, university, and independent school audiences across the country. He is the co-founder of Canada's largest higher education market research firm, Academica Group, curator of an online Eduvation database, and editor of the nation's leading higher education news daily, with more than 22,000 subscribers. Ken offers a unique and wide-ranging perspective as an award-winning academic and entrepreneur, experienced consultant, and de facto journalist.

Our children's future academic and career experiences will take place in radically different campus and workforce environments, and we believe it is essential to anticipate those changes and prepare them for personal, academic and professional success. We hope you will join us for this rare opportunity to be simultaneously startled, entertained, and enlightened.

We are pleased to offer this presentation free of charge to the community. Thank you for your rsvp and for committing to your attendance so that we can ensure both sufficient seating and a good audience for our esteemed presenter.
