In a one-hour presentation, Donald Norris, a national expert on navigating change in universities,will help kick off a campus-wide dialogue about how students, faculty and staff at Iowa State will learn, collaborate and do research in the future. A reception will follow Norris' talk.

"Amid the blistering pace of technological change, we need to look forward several decades and decide what kind of new learning environments and spaces we'll need not only to keep pace, but to thrive," said Elizabeth Hoffman, executive vice president and provost. "A key part of that will be developing facilities that are flexible enough to accommodate the rapid changes ahead."

Several ISU work groups will begin exploring these issues in depth over the next few months, Hoffman added.
