Georgia Tech’s Commission on Creating the Next in Education (CNE) is an ambitious and visionary effort to draw with broad strokes the defining technological university of the year 2040 and beyond. The Commission was formed because many are convinced that by the second half of this century the Georgia Institute of Technology will be different from the university that had matured and prospered in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Georgia Tech’s mission demands the Institute examine the choices that lie ahead and make plans for a future that, however uncertain, is bound to present opportunities and challenges that cannot be understood as incremental changes in the status quo. This presentation discusses drivers of change in higher education and presents the report of Georgia Tech’s CNE commission on what higher education may look like in 2040.
