Society for Photographic Education
44th National Conference in Miami

INDUSTRY & EDUCATOR FORUM

Saturday, March 17, 2007,  8:00 - 9:45 am, Concerto A     

Moderated by Terri Warpinski

All exhibitors and conference attendees are encouraged to participate

Given that strong links between the marketplace and education exist in the world of photography, we have created a forum for discussion and communication between exhibitors and educators. Terri Warpinski, outgoing chairperson of the SPE Board of Directors, will moderate this session. Join the dialogue and consider: How can the industry and academic programs support one another?  How can we work more closely and effectively?  What are the best ways to foster regular communication? How can industry and educators most efficiently communicate?  This forum is open to all exhibitors and conference attendees.

Terri Warpinski lives in Eugene, Oregon, where she is the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Community Engagement at the University of Oregon. Her administrative portfolio includes among other assignments the University’s two museums, the Oregon Bach Festival, Continuing Education and the University of Oregon Portland campus.  Warpinski has been on the national board of directors for the Society for Photographic Education since 2000, and has been serving as the Chair of the Board since March 2003.
