AAC&U Summer Institute: Institute on General Education and Assessment

Sponsored by: AAC&U
Date: Friday, June 4, 2010 - Wednesday, June 9, 2010
Location: University of Vermont, Burlington, VT

AAC&U's annual Institute on General Education and Assessment is an opportunity for campus teams to come together to work with consultants and each other on reforming their general education programs.

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.
