Forum 2004 Highlights

More than 2,100 educators participated in Forum 2004, which was held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago from October 30 to November 1. Attendees came from high schools, colleges, and universities across the nation and represented a wide range of institutions: large and small; public and private; urban, suburban, and rural. For three, tightly-packed days, they convened to discuss important educational issues, enhance their professional knowledge, and network with peers. This year's conference underscored the need for access to higher education and rigor in preparation for all students. Special activities and sessions were also held in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the College Scholarship Service (CSS). Read a full recap of Forum 2004
