DEADLINE: Monday May 16, 2005 (extended)
Stakeholders in North American higher education collaboration
are invited to submit presentation proposals for CONAHEC’s
Tenth North American Higher Education Conference. CONAHEC’s

Collaboration in Higher Education” will take place from

CONAHEC is now accepting presentation proposals for the conference.
Suggested topics include:

the CONAHEC conference will be published in special
issues of the peer-reviewed journals Homines: Revista

The Journal of the Society of Educators and Scholars
produced by the Universidad Interamericana de Puerto
Rico. Papers selected for publication will be chosen
at the sole discretion of the journal editors. |
Concurrent sessions will feature 20-minute presentations.
Case studies and original research will be considered. Proposals
that explore the above topics in the North American context
will be of greatest use to conference attendees. Diverse perspectives
from all sectors, not just higher education, are welcome.
We encourage contributions from business, government, non-profit,
primary and secondary education. In addition, we invite the
sharing of innovative frameworks not traditionally addressed
by higher education administrative and international education
communities.

plan to address the topic.
