I am writing to share the following information. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Have a great week!
There’s NEW news about registration: Students can get advised and complete their registration in one visit! Faculty are reminded to contact their advisees, post a sign-up sheet on the door and check MyDU on a regular basis to ensure that all assigned advisees are registered.
"Breaking Bad News: Delivery Techniques that Help Students Make Good Alternative Choices”
If you have a student who is determined to go to Medical School, but doesn’t like science, or a student who wants to become a lawyer, but doesn’t like to read….this is the session for you. Join this NACADA webinar to reinforce your knowledge about the best ways to advise students according to their strengths.
• Fall 2009 Reports will be available this week. Please use your results to build upon areas of strength as well as those areas in need of improvement.
Freshmen and Seniors are encouraged to visit their Dillard email to access and complete NSSE. This survey asks students about areas that are important to them: “level of academic challenge,” “student-faculty interaction,” “active and collaborative learning,” “ supportive campus environment” and “enriching educational experiences.” Remind students that their feedback will help us celebrate our strength and target areas for improvement.
As part of the QEP (Communication Skills Enhancement Grounded in Critical Thinking), seniors are asked to participate in the CLA. The survey provides real-life examples and allows students to complete questions based on their knowledge and experiences. Students receive, later in the summer, a report of their results and the institution will use the data as well.
FSSE asks professors a selected group of questions from the NSSE. The FSSE/NSSE combined report aligns students and faculty members’ responses, providing an illustration of the areas of agreement and differences in perceptions. The combined report is great for discussions about student learning, academic excellence and institutional improvement.
Academic Roundtables
The SOAR Committee has been working diligently to ensure that this year’s SOAR is an exciting and efficient event. The Academic Roundtables will resume this year, so faculty should submit a (1) title – something catchy, please and a (2) two-sentence summary by April 30th.
Academic Affairs plans to host sessions such on Academic Advising, Assessment, The Core and The QEP (these are just examples). Feel free to offer additional suggestions.
If faculty members in a division are interested in contacting and encouraging students to consider/confirm with Dillard, please contact Mr. Roberto Diaz Del Valle (Admissions) for a formal presentation on the proper guidelines for doing so.
The Assessment Committee held its first meeting today. One of our first action items is to strengthen the structure and communication strategies for assessment-related activities. Let us begin by sharing all assessments (i.e., institutional, program and course-level). Click on reply, complete the table below and email it back to me by Friday of this week.
