"SHOWCASING SOLUTIONS, PRODUCING RESULTS"

The 2009 WASC ARC is dedicated to supporting institutions of higher education as they define their challenges, develop solutions, and demonstrate results. 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities will share their work at what has become a major higher education conference in the western US.

Our setting is Hollywood - a great place to think creatively about student learning, institutional effectiveness, and the relationship between higher education and society.

Our venue is a microcosm of contradictions and tensions that educators also face: innovation and tradition, high culture and popular taste, technology and craft, new influences and sometimes sluggish responses, and the financial challenges that will be with us for some time to come. It's the place where the local meets the global, where highly visible ratings and reviews coexist with plenty of skepticism about their meaning.

This conference is a chance to talk about that learning and how to apply it to improvement and student success.
