The
2003 College and University Work Family Association (CUWFA) Annual
Conference Leading the Way: Work/Life Strategies for Institutional
Change (details about the conference are available at www.cuwfa.org/)
March 19-22, 2003 will be held at the University of Pennsylvania,
hosted by Human Resources.
Dynamic
leadership will be necessary to move the work/life agenda forward
on college campuses. How can work/life practitioners and researchers
use their expertise to bring about culture change and heighten

The
conference will focus on research and strategies that can be readily
adapted to your campus. Work/life practitioners, researchers,
human resource professionals, faculty, staff, and students from
across the higher education community are encouraged to attend.

program committee is particularly interested in sessions on the
