2013 Fall Plenary Session

Event Dates

Presentations are being added everyday!
 
This Fall Session's theme is "Engineering Success: Gearing up for the Future"
 

Welcome to 2013 Fall Plenary Session 

With increased funds to add sections and support students before they enroll in classes, our colleges are gearing up to engineer the greatest level of student success yet.  Last year we recognized an evolutionary transition where only the strong survived; however, today we are experiencing an intentional transformation where we can chose the direction and the means to achieve it.  This year, the Fall 2013 Plenary will showcase the latest regarding proposed performance metrics for the colleges, the newly proposed accreditation standards, and much more that faculty leaders need to know and understand.  Breakout sessions on curriculum, minimum qualifications and governance will be offered for new and returning senate officers with our usual attention to hot topics and empowering faculty success.  Join us as we celebrate what we do well, examine where we need to improve, and intentionally transform our institutions.
