William Richardson, president and chief executive officer of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, will kick off the 1997-98 Chancellor's Forum on the Future seminar series with a talk Tuesday, Oct. 28, at the University of California, Davis. The forums, which this year feature leaders in higher education, are open to the campus community and public. The series was created to give a broader view of issues in higher education and to stimulate discussion. Richardson will come to campus Tuesday, Oct. 28, to talk about "Creating a Community-Connected University." His speech begins at 4:10 p.m. in the University Club dining room. Richardson was president of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore before taking the helm of the Kellogg Foundation in August 1995. He previously was executive vice president and provost of Pennsylvania State University and dean of the graduate school and vice provost for research at the University of Washington in Seattle. The Kellogg Foundation, based in Battle Creek, Mich., was established in 1930 "to help people help themselves through the practical application of knowledge and resources to improve their quality of life and that of future generations." The foundation targets its grants toward such areas as health, food systems and rural development, youth and education, higher education, and philanthropy and volunteerism. More forums are planned. On Thursday, Feb. 5, David Ward, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will address the campus, followed by Kenneth R.R. Gros Louis, vice president for academic affairs and chancellor of Indiana University at Bloomington, on Thursday, March 12. UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert M. Berdahl is scheduled to talk Wednesday, May 27. All forums are at 4:10 p.m. in the University Club dining room.
