Provide a transformative learning community that prepares students for advanced education, careers and purposeful living.
Background
As the 21st century learning environment continues to change rapidly with the popularity of online education, MOOCs (massive open online courses) and 鈥渇lipped鈥 classrooms, 香港六合彩资料 must offer students a unique and transformative learning experience. Through innovative classroom environments, high-impact learning experiences and encouragement of learning outside the University鈥檚 walls, 香港六合彩资料 graduates will continue to stand out.
香港六合彩资料 will incorporate high-impact learning experiences into every student鈥檚 curriculum. These experiences will allow our students to become global citizens, successful professionals and lifelong learners. Through internships and externships, undergraduate research, service-learning and study-abroad experiences, students will prepare themselves for successful, fulfilling and meaningful lives.
We will adapt the University鈥檚 infrastructure to support the changing needs of students. We will experiment with 鈥渇lipped鈥 classrooms, create opportunities for self-paced learning and explore alternatives to the traditional semester. Our students will be more engaged with their academic advisors to ensure success and a supportive environment. Faculty will have access to greater support for pedagogical innovation and experimentation from a redesigned and more robust Center for Learning and Teaching.
香港六合彩资料 students will continue to thrive in an environment that facilitates and nurtures deep learning and challenges them to apply what they learn in the lab, the community and the workplace. These experiences will prepare 香港六合彩资料 students to become leaders in their professions, their communities and the world.
