The Western Academic Leadership Forum will hold its annual meeting, themed “The Politics of Student Success: Meeting the Challenges — from Readiness to Completion,” in Fort Collins, CO, on April 13 to 15. Cohosted by Colorado State University, the meeting will provide an opportunity for provosts, vice presidents of academic affairs, chief executives, and chief academic officers of related systems and statewide agencies in the WICHE region to learn more about new assessments for the Common Core Standards; discuss two completion initiatives (Complete to Compete and Complete College America); and focus on how performance-based funding is being used to incentivize change. Because these topics are also of concern to those at two-year institutions, the Forum has invited the members of the Western Alliance for Community College Academic Leaders to attend. WICHE serves as the secretariat for both the Forum and the Alliance.
