2009 Greater Expectations Institute: Campus Leadership for Student Engagement, Inclusion, and Achievement
June 17-21, 2009 | Dudley H. Davis Student Center | University of Vermont
*Applications will be available in January 2009.
The Greater Expectations Institute is a five-day, intensive program designed for campuses working on ways to increase student engagement, inclusion, and high achievement. The Institute will help you align institutional purposes, structures, and practices as well as advance and assess a set of essential liberal education outcomes outlined in AAC&U’s signature reports, College Learning for the New Global Century and Greater Expectations: A New Vision for Learning as a Nation Goes to College, such as critical inquiry, intercultural competence, and integrative learning.
The Institute curriculum grows out of AAC&U’s long-standing work in diversity and educational quality, most recently brought together under a major initiative, Making Excellence Inclusive. Our framework rests on two beliefs: that a high-quality, practical liberal education should be the standard of excellence for all students, and that diversity and intercultural competence are essential elements of a contemporary liberal education. AAC&U is a national resource for campuses looking to create and sustain diverse learning environments; the Institute focuses on developing the collaborative leadership needed to do so.
