Presented in January 2007 at Oregon Women in Higher Education conference with Katie Abbott, Lynn Brown, and Jennifer Sasser. In this interactive session, participants considered projections for adult learners’ participation in higher education in Oregon, and reflected upon how adults’ life circumstances, learning needs, and prior experiences can positively affect institutional practices. The presenters were from Marylhurst University, which was recently awarded the Adult Learning Focused Institution award from the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning.
