Message from the Provost
The task of updating, refining, affirming and announcing institutional learning aspirations is a very important endeavor, especially when viewed in light of commitment to student-centeredness. As a community of scholars, it behooves us to express our common vision for learning expectations in the Academy. The broad dissemination of these expectations will also ensure that our students are fully informed about our high standards for learning. More importantly, our students will know that we will hold them to these standards, that we will challenge them to achieve their highest potential and that we will provide them with appropriately rigorous and stimulating curricular experiences. By clarifying these expectations, we will be clearly communicating to the world not just where we stand, but our shared vision for the evolving liberal arts tradition.
The following documents are designed to assist in creating a dialogue concerning our institutional learning aspirations.
Documents for review:
- Aspirations or aims for liberal education in the 21st century
- Final report on the Institutional Aspirations for Learning
