Envisioning the Future for Continuing Education - What will Continuing Education Look Like in the Future? According to Region V members of the University Continuing Education Association (UCEA), Continuing Education will look something like this: 1) its units will be fully, or almost fully, financially self-supporting and will need to be inventive and flexible in securing revenue; 2) it will be mission-centered and fluid (with form following function); 3) it will need to be at the table in policy formation and achieve equity in financial practices; 4) it will more and more become partners specialists, taking risks and thinking *outside the box* ; 5) it will encourage interdisciplinary approaches to problems and issues; 6) it will concentrate on areas of excellence and continuously incorporate assessment and evaluation and 7) it will take a global perspective and integrate technology.

This is only a partial list pulled together at the UCEA V Conference. For a more complete list see: University of Continuing Education Association (UCEA) Newsletter, November, 1997, "What Will Continuing Higher Education Look Like in the Future? (p. 13.)
