The 37th annual Institute will be held November 7–10 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A major focus of the 2009 Institute for Chief Academic Officers will be the challenge of creating and sustaining high-quality curricula and programs while making necessary changes to ensure the financial stability of the campus in a time of fiscal constraints. Sessions during the conference will focus on issues such as financial forecasting, insights from chief advancement officers on the CAO’s role in fundraising, analysis of the costs of academic programs, using assessment to institute change, trends in enrollment, strategies for growth, and student retention.
