The theme of t.-as 51st Annual Meeting of the Association is reflective of ACHE's commitment to lead higher education's response to the learning needs of an increasingly diverse society. Under the direction of Nancy F. Gadbow and the 1989 Program Committee, the development and design of this meeting were guided by the following statement: As we move toward the 21st century, we are becoming more aware of the needs of our changing multicultural society. What we understand as minorities today will become the majority, while poverty and limited education continue to impact the lives of too many in our world. ,t the same time, work and the workplace are being reshaped by ad- vancing technology. If education can unlock human potential and break the cycle of poverty, powerlessness, and despair, then continuing higher education holds the key. It is capable of matching the emerging diversity of human needs and the changing world of work with the resources of the university, where research, teaching, and service can be directed toward reaching persons of all ages and groups. ACHE must adopt a new agenda to make education responsive to a new multicultural age. The College of Charleston was a wonderful host. Abbie F. Smith and her Local Arrangements Committee did a remarkable job of introducing us to the warm, friendly, and hospitable City of Charleston, a city whose spirit could not be broken despite the ravages of Hurricane Hugo. Certainly, we agree that "Charleston is a city of infinite grace and dignity, a living reflection ofa way of life that has all but vanished. A city whose people welcome you with open warmth and pleasure." I wish to extend my personal thanks to those individuals who provided the support for this publication: Peter K. Mills for inviting me to serve as editor; the many recorders and committees for submitting the contents of this work; Lee Porter and California State University, San Bernardino for providing me the time and office support necessary to complete this monumental task; Donna Lewis for her word processing assistance; and Tom Ruvolo for his graphics support. It is with pleasure and pride that I present this edition of the Proceedings of the 1989 Annual Meeting of the Association for Continuing Higher Education.
