An Invitation

We are proud to extend this invitation to come to Winnipeg, the heartland of Canada, for CAMPUS 2000. As the millennium drew close, we undoubtedly noticed many changes ­ not only in our practice as post-secondary educators, but in the many significant changes in our community, workplace and marketplace. In June 2000, come gather with your colleagues to explore one effect of these changes - accountability in post secondary education. From our opening keynote by Ann Dowsett Johnston, Editor of McLean's Guide to Canadian Universities, to our closing panel, you will be challenged and inspired by the changes in accountability in post secondary education. Steeped in the history of hardy voyageurs, Aboriginal and European culture, Winnipeg welcomes you to a landscape and legacy that will satisfy your love of adventure ­ and your social cravings too!

"Don't Shoot the Messenger: The Need for Accountability in Post Secondary Education"

Ann Dowsett Johnston has overseen the controversial Macleanıs university rankings since 1992; a best-selling project that has won her two National Magazine awards. Editor of the Maclean's Guide to Canadian Universities, Ann offers a unique perspective on the challenges now facing students, parents and educators. "Chronic underfunding has created a crisis in higher education and it will take leadership, vision and nerve to overcome it" says Ann Dowsett Johnston. Feisty and outspoken, she champions the need for greater accountability in public education, encouraging audiences to make intelligent, informed choices.
