Charting Student Success through Graduation Competencies

Saturday, September 21, 2024 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

 

The Center for Teaching Excellence is excited to invite you to register for the Fall Conference on Teaching Excellence. This event will introduce faculty to updates to Wilmington University’s graduation competencies as well as upcoming changes to the CATS end of course survey.

Participants will engage in thought partnership as we work to design innovative ways to assess and measure student progress towards the following:

• W - Worldview and Ethics: The ability to understand diverse perspectives, ethical principles and global citizenship.
• I - Information and Technology: Proficiency in research, data analysis, digital tools, and preparation to navigate an information-rich landscape.
• L - Leadership and Personal Growth: Cultivation of the qualities associated with influence and impact gained through mentorship, experiential learning, and self-reflection.
• M - Make Decisions and Problem Solve: The ability to make informed decisions and tackle real-world issues via analytical thinking, problem solving strategies, and adaptability.
• U - Use Oral and Written Communication: The ability to present research findings, collaborate in teams, and craft persuasive essays.

Join us for a transformative experience where your expertise will contribute to the future success of Wilmington University’s students. Participants will select one of the above competencies (W, I, L, M, U) to focus on during the conference.

Please register early to reserve a seat in your preferred work group!
