William Richardson, president and chief executive officer of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, will kick off the campus's 1997-98 Chancellor's Forum on the Future seminar series with a talk Tuesday, Oct. 28, at UC Davis. The forums, which this year feature leaders in higher education, are open to the campus community and public.

Richardson was president of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore before taking the helm of the Kellogg Foundation in August 1995. The Kellogg Foundation targets its grants toward such areas as health, food systems and rural development, youth and education, higher education, and philanthropy and volunteerism. The schedule for upcoming forums: Feb. 5 -- David Ward, chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison; March 12 -- Kenneth R.R. Gros Louis, vice president for academic affairs and chancellor of Indiana University at Bloomington; May 27 -- Robert M. Berdahl, chancellor of UC Berkeley.
