Each semester the iRep (Institutional Research, Effectiveness, and Planning) Office is busy gathering and interpreting data, so Summer 2008 will be no exception.

Workshops and Conferences

In May, Dr. Tim Detwiler presented two sessions at the 48th annual Association for Institutional Research (AIR) conference in Seattle, Washington.  

The second Core Curriculum Summit was held on June 6 with all course writers of new core courses in attendance. The intent of this summit was to create space for dialogue on key terms and curriculum scaffolding.
