Campus Dissemination of the Self-Study
Trudy and Susan have been making presentations on the self-study/portfolio to a variety of groups on campus, with extremely positive responses. Trudy asked for suggestions about anything further we might do to increase campus awareness of the accreditation review.
Vic suggested that any publicity include bullets summarizing a few points everyone should be aware of:
- IUPUI is undergoing review for reaffirmation of accreditation
- We have developed a comprehensive, evidence-based self-study on the Web
- We have two special emphases: Learning and Teaching and Civic Engagement
It is especially important that we get people to attend the open meetings, particularly students. Trudy and Susan will develop an email message to the deans from the chancellor, asking them to encourage faculty and staff to attend. Trudy will email Scott and ask him to encourage learning community instructors to show the Web site in their classes and invite students to attend the open meeting. We will also try to include another announcement in JagNews and in the Sagamore.
NCA Visit Schedule
The schedule is still being finalized. Karen Whitney will convene a diversity group to include students, staff, and faculty. Sharon suggested that she meet with Braskamp, Certain, and Chu about the PULs and the student ePort. Julie recommended that Dean Goldblatt be included in the meeting with the review team on civic engagement, since he is particularly articulate about that area .
