Institute Features
Leadership Development
The tenth annual Greater Expectations Institute will focus on developing
campus capacity and collaborative, multilevel leadership to advance educational
change initiatives, especially initiatives relevant to student learning,
inclusive excellence, and assessment of programs. The Institute will also
focus on building state system leaders’ capacity to serve as catalysts and
supporters of effective change efforts. Teams will learn how to utilize the
contributions of various campus cultures and constituents to advance educational
change efforts. Teams will consider these issues in the context of
their specific educational change projects and in relation to institutional- and
system-level change more generally.
Educating Students for Personal and Social Responsibility
This year’s Institute will also focus on a set of learning outcomes essential
for success in the twenty-first-century and too often neglected in campuswide
planning. Participants will explore ways to facilitate students’ exploration
of questions about ethical responsibility to self and others, more precisely
define the academy’s role in fostering students’ development of personal
and social responsibility, and create learning environments that prepare
students to fulfill their ethical obligations in an academic community and as
global and local citizens. This focus will draw on the research and lessons
learned from AAC&U’s initiative, Core Commitments: Educating Students
for Personal and Social Responsibility.
