Continuing Education in Colleges and Universities: Challenges and Opportunities. New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, Number 140

These are times of great opportunity and challenge for continuing education (CE) programs in colleges and universities. While lifelong learning remains central to CE's mission, means of promoting and delivering adult education programs through distance and online learning are undergoing tremendous technological transformation. Within institutions, CE units are increasingly collaborating with academic departments. In addition, demographic shifts have resulted in new audiences and types of programs offered, both credit and noncredit. School are pressured to increase their participation in economic development. All these changes carry administrative considerations. This volume suggests perspective and solutions for the challenges that must be successfully confronted by today's CE programs and the professionals who develop them. This is the 140th volume of this Jossey-Bass series. Noted for its depth of coverage, it explores issues of common interest to instructors, administrators, counselors, and policymakers in a broad range of adult and continuing education settings, such as colleges and universities, extension programs, businesses, libraries, and museums.

Ronald White

Ronald "Ronnie" White (April 5, 1938 - August 26, 1995) was an African American soul singer and songwriter, notable as a founding member of The Miracles, and the only member to survive all of that group's lineup changes. He is also noted as the man who actually discovered Stevie Wonder, then White's 11-year-old neighbor, and brought him to the attention of Motown head Berry Gordy Jr.

A childhood friend of fellow Miracle William "Smokey" Robinson, White and Robinson began singing together in grade school. They released a few side singles while with the Miracles as a duo called "Ron & Bill", and White collaborated with Robinson on several of his most notable compositions, including The Temptations'#1 hit, "My Girl", Marvin Gaye's Top 10 hit, "Ain't That Peculiar, and Mary Wells' Top 10 smash, "You Beat Me To The Punch ". As of early 2008, White is the only original member of The Miracles that is now deceased, having succumbed to leukemia at the age of 57 in 1995. His first wife, Earlyn, with whom he had 2 daughters [Michelle and Pamela] , succumbed to breast cancer several years before. For this reason, he did not participate in the reunion of the Miracles on the 1983 NBC television special:"'.'.
