Accelerate Student Success

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with the Acceleration Team. At our first meeting we had a very open and honest conversation around the input received from the all-faculty August 22 meeting. My goal in this process is to listen, ask questions, and to the best of my ability fully understand perspectives so that I can better communicate with other faculty and staff. The Team will continue to meet over the next couple of months to further explore strategies and tools we can use to further our goal of Maximizing Student Success and to address the following research question: How can we (as an institution) accelerate student success through the classroom experience without adding additional work to faculty? The Team will be looking for your perspectives on issues that we discuss in our meetings, as well. Members of the Acceleration Team, appointed by peers, include:

Pete Baldwin - Business, Computer, Arts, and Sciences (BCAS)
Jonathon Stewart - Industrial and Engineering Technologies (IET)
Debbie Tertinger - Health and Human Services (HHS)
Krista Bradshaw – Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)
Linda Bolick - Corporation and Continuing Education (CCE)
Steven Rast - Adjunct Faculty
Sally Herlong and Kerri McGuire - Student Services (SS)
