AAC&U Institute on General Education
The 2009 Institute will be held May 29 - June 3, in Minneapolis.
Each year in early summer, AAC&U holds its annual Institute on General Education. The Institute is an opportunity for campus teams to come together to work with consultants and each other on reforming their general education programs.
The 2009 Institute on General Education will be held May 29-June 3, 2009, in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the campus of the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. More details are available in the brochure.
The Institute creates a varied, intellectually stimulating environment for advancing campus planning in general education for 2 and 4 year, liberal arts, comprehensive, research, and public or private campuses. The Institute is comprised of interactive presentations by experienced faculty who have been engaged in general education reform and with emerging trends in higher education and student learning. Campus teams will have ample opportunity to meet one-on-one with these faculty consultants, work collaboratively within their teams, and to share ideas with the other campus teams.
The rich curriculum in general education reform includes a variety of sessions on framing campus projects in local and national contexts, improving assessment of general education student learning, best practices, and emerging trends in higher education. Campus teams also learn strategies for placing their general education reform within the framework of AAC&U's Greater Expectations and Liberal Education and America’s Promise initiatives.
