About the Institute
The Engaging Departments Institute is designed with the understanding that faculty members typically identify strongly with their discipline, department, or program, and that students typically engage in their most complex and sophisticated academic work in their majors. The Institute helps campus teams move beyond academic “homes” toward a more intentional collaboration within and among departments, as well as toward effective educational leadership to achieve discipline-specific program and institution-wide learning outcomes for all students.
Who Should Attend
The Engaging Departments Institute is intended for campus teams of deans, department chairs, and faculty members working to create more intentional student learning within major programs and in relation to other curricular components. The Institute will be of particular interest to campus leaders concerned with assessing student achievement of departmental, programmatic, and institutional goals and outcomes, and those interested in cultivating institution-wide educational planning and diminishing the negative impact of academic silos.
