  • 2:00 GUEST – Linda Bowman, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs; gave the outlook for how Student Affairs is being broken out into many areas under 2 main ones listed below
  • Student Affairs is being separated into 2 areas:
  • Student Access and Achievement – A team organized to support student academic achievement from first contact to graduation.
  • Student Development – A team designed to support students in their personal, social and mental wellbeing, and leadership development.

 

  • Organizational Changes – Many related to old “Student Affairs” office; services will be split up among 8 areas. One key change is that the Center for Faculty Development will now focus on career paths, dossiers review, promotion and tenure; director will be tenure track.
  • In addition, there will be a Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning—Director will be full time; internal search for faculty member (IRC eligible) highly knowledgeable in evidence based teaching practices.
