Campus Dialogue Sessions for Planning and Accreditation Self-Study
We intend these sessions to provide information as well as opportunities for the participants to offer their meaningful feedback concerning the four major goals of the University: Foster Student Success, Develop and Transfer New Knowledge, Improve Health and Quality of Life, and Ensure Long-Term Viability of the University. Our aim is to use the information we gather from this process to inform both our accreditation self-study and our campus-strategy project. For each area, we will ask participants to identify and discuss:
· pressing needs and challenges;
· efforts of individual programs, departments, and colleges;
· goals for the university;
· strategies for reaching these goals; and
· the appropriate metrics for measuring success
The sessions will be interactive, so we hope participants will come ready to contribute their thoughts and ideas on each topic.
Schedule:
1. Mon, Mar 2, 12-1pm (Gould Auditorium; w/ lunch) — TOPIC Promote Student Success to Transform Lives
2. Fri, Mar 6, 8-9am (Gould Auditorium; w/ breakfast) – TOPIC Develop and Transfer New Knowledge
