Hall B
Chair: Dr. Allen Gray, Loyola Marymount University
For the past three years the Forum has heard proposals forconducting collaborative educational programs.

While concrete progress has been made, further advancement will not take place without, first, the involvement of those individuals who will haveto implement programs and, second, an institution taking a leadership role - that is, the faculty. LMU is proposing to conduct a conference for faculty from the Association's member institutions.

The conference objective will be to develop specific courses, seminars, workshops and other programs that have been identified prior to the Conference as useful to the member institutions. The week long conference that is being considered would bring together two groups of faculty. First, there would be four or five groups of faculty focused on specific educational projects that would be inter institutional. Prior to the meeting theywould decide on learning objectives for the project.
8:00 - 10:15The Competitive Advantage of Central Cities - Hall B
-Chair: Dr. Greg Ulferts
-Presentation: His Honor, John Norquist, Mayor, City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
This session is an attempt to use technology. We had originally scheduled Michael Porter and he had agreed but he then found it necessary to withdraw. We will use a video tape of a program he gave in Detroit on the Competitive Advantage of Cities.
 
In addition we will use in this session an interview with Mayor John Norquist of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who is one the leading mayors in the United States. This will be followed by two-way phone interaction with the Mayor. This will be followed by a discussion on the implications of all of this for the Third World countries. Is New Mumbai an indication that the type of suburbanization that has destroyed US cities is happening here?
 
Outcome desired for these sessions on urban development is an   understanding of the issues and directions for our institutions. Jesuit educational institutions have a long history of being in urban areas and committed to them. What does it mean for business schools?
