With the arrival of a new Congress
and the 2008 presidential campaign |
NACUA
is pleased to welcome back to our Annual Conference Dr. L. Randolph Lowry III.
Now President of Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee, Dr. Lowry ishe founder of
the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University. He is a nationally
recognized expert in negotiation, dispute resolution and mediation. NACUA members are
regularly called upon to employ negotiating skills in both their professional and personal
lives. Whether negotiating litigation settlements, employment agreements, the terms of
institutional policies or even a teenager’s curfew or allowance, or a family holiday
gathering, certain principles of negotiation are timeless, tested and true. In this
fast-paced, entertaining and interactive presentation using real-life scenarios, Dr. Lowry
will demonstrate how you can truly negotiate anything once you understand the principles
and dynamics of the negotiation process. Dr. Lowry’s presentations at NACUA’s
2002 Annual Conference drew packed session rooms and outstanding reviews. NACUA is proud
to have him as the plenary speaker for our 2007 Annual Conference. Dr. Lowry will examine
the subject of his plenary session in even greater depth in a separate concurrent
conference session immediately following the plenary session (3:00 pm – 4:15 pm on
Wed. June 27).
Dr. Lowry holds a B.A. in
political science and a master’s degree in public administration from Pepperdine
University. He received his J.D. from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN. In 1986 he
joined the law school faculty at Pepperdine and in September 2005 was inaugurated as the
17th president of Lipscomb University. He is an annual visiting professor at Vermont Law
School and the City University of Hong Kong, and has taught in China, Australia and Italy.
His consulting and training practice has included work in the Netherlands, India and
Argentina. |

Government and Public Affairs at the American Council on Education and a seasoned
observer and analyst of the Washington political environment, will provide an overview of
the new dynamics for higher education in Washington, and of pending and proposed
legislation and regulations that could signifi cantly affect college and university
