Leadership Dialogwith Lehigh University College of Education

As our schools change to meet the needs of a global economy and the competition for productive and creative minds that can adapt and thrive in the 21st century, increasing emphasis is being placed on the need for solutions that ensure we maintain a leadership position in the world. As a result, our schools are asked to solve some of our most pressing societal problems: the effects of poverty on learning, children who are vulnerable and in need of specialized programs, the education of our brightest students, and the diverse nature of our population. Can schools alone accomplish all of these goals, or is there a need to rethink how we view education? Exciting and innovative programs address these issues, such as intervention models that are engaging, academically rigorous programs that improve outcomes for our most vulnerable children, and systems that support the educational needs of our inner cities. These programs show, in addition to a strong curricular emphasis, success depends upon the entire community. Brook Sawyer, assistant professor of teaching, learning, and technology, and Arnold Spokane, professor and program director of counseling psychology, will engage the audience in an interactive discussion.

Technology and scientific discovery are changing how we think about health. Already, we can have our personal genomes scanned at low cost, and economical full sequencing is not far behind. And we anticipate a wide array of ways to know what's going on inside our bodies, putting data in our hands and making trips to the lab or clinic a thing of the past. New questions arise and surprising answers emerge: Do our genes determine our fates and frailties? Is there such a thing as universal advice on how to pursue and maintain good health? When is information frightening, and when is it empowering? Alan Snyder, vice president and associate provost for research and graduate studies, and Sam Niedbala '84G '86G, biotech entrepreneur and professor of practice in chemistry, will lead a discussion of emerging new technologies and emerging new perspectives in health.
