2004 ACHE Proceedings 1 Preface The 2004 Proceedings of the Association for Continuing Higher Education are presented herein. These proceedings record the 66th Annual Meeting of ACHE held in Newport, Rhode Island. President Jerry Hickerson’s theme for this annual meeting was, “Lifelong Learning: Crossing Bridges into New Territories.” This theme asked us to examine the bridges that we build to diversity, articulation, research, degree completion, technology, and our organizational structure. When the meeting was complete we crossed the bridges from Newport with fresh ideas to improve our services to students and clients, new insights to advance our profession, and a commitment to share successful practices with the membership through conversation, research, publication, and other forms of networking. Rich in history, culture, and breathtaking scenery, the seaport city of Newport, Rhode Island offered the best of New England for our meeting. Our venue of the impeccably renovated Newport Marriott, situated in the heart of historic downtown Newport, was within walking distance of harbor-side restaurants, wharfs and shops, and just minutes from the famous mansions. Congratulations to Local Arrangements Chair Phil Sisson and his staff for the hospitality and Program Chair Ron Blankenstein and his committee for a dynamic and intellectually stimulating program. Please accept these Proceedings of the Association for Continuing Higher Education’s 66th Annual Meeting. Irene T.
