18TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE Hosted by The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga October 13-16, 2012 at the Chattanoogan Hotel Working Together Works 1 WELCOME Dear Higher Education Colleagues, We at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga are honored to welcome you to the 18th Annual CUMU Conference. Anyone familiar with the story of Chattanoo- ga’s renaissance from “the dirtiest city in America” to what Outside magazine called the “Best Town Ever” and the accompanying renaissance of the University knows that we speak from experience when we say, “Working Together Works: Partnering for Progress.” That’s why this is the perfect theme for this year’s conference. The partnership between our community and our campus demonstrates perfectly the synergy and success that result from effective partnerships, and we believe par- ticipants in the conference will gain valuable insight into translating Chattanooga’s success for their own communities. Chattanooga offers a perfect setting to discuss how shared visioning, strategic plan- l-r: Dr. Grady Bogue and Dr. Roger Brown ning, and community planning come together to create a sustainable, vibrant, and progressive city in which to work, live, play, and learn. During the conference, we guarantee you a behind-the-scenes view through candid panel discussions, tours, and insightful presentations on what it takes to create a suc- cessful city and what role a university must play in the process. We hope you find the speakers, presentations, and panel discussions as well as special events planned before and during the conference to be informative and engaging. CUMU’s 18th Annual Conference promises a rich opportunity for leaders from urban and higher education circles to share strategies and successes, and we guarantee you will not be disappointed by your visit to our wonderful city. We hope you enjoy your visit to Chattanooga!
