Guest Speaker(s)
Larry Foster, Professor of Mathematics & Institutional Self-Study Tri-Chair Professor Foster gave an update on the Fall 2018 NWCCU Year Seven Peer Evaluation visit, which is Oct. 8-10. After spending more than two years performing a broad-based campus engagement in the analysis of mission fulfillment, the Institutional Self-Study team sent the Year Seven Self-Evaluation Report to the NWCCU. The October site visit will include three open forums for faculty, staff, and students, who are highly encouraged to attend!
The Self-Study website is here: /academics/office-of-academic-affairs/institutional-self-study/index.cshtml. Please review at least the Self-Study Report Executive Summary and review Chapters 1, 2 (Compliance), and 5 of the Institutional Self-Study Report.
Sara Childress, April Hydak, Bridget Coffou, Neil Best - Office of Equity & Compliance Sara and her team came to introduce us to their office and the new staff. While Title IX is something we are all familiar with due to the required UAA training, there is much more that OEC has to offer! They are happy to provide face-to-face trainings regarding Title IX and other campus cultural aspects, which have received positive feedback from fellow staff members. A face-to-face training can replace the required Title IX online training, so contact their office today at (907) 786-4680. /about/equity-and-compliance/
