AOC Initiative Marks First Academic Year with Progress and Plans for the Future |
|
|
|
The first year of the AOC Initiative focused on laying a foundation by assembling a core team, seeking advice from outside consultants, completing a curriculum-wide needs assessment in collaboration with curricular leaders, setting the vision, and building infrastructure for sustainable change. Critical to this work have been the contributions of the AOCI-Student Collaborative.
As the initiative moves into its second year, which will continue to be guided by a commitment to collaboration, there will be many opportunities to share experience, expertise, and input. If you are interested in participating in the AOC Initiative, please explore the AOCI webpage and the Getting Involved page.
