Hi all,

A reminder to let us know if you can participate.

This year our department is going through a process called academic program review which occurs at least once per decade. Periodic academic program review is required by university policy and the university’s accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU). The review process also provides our department an opportunity to reflect on strengths, challenges, aspirations, and strategic planning. The primary objective of the review is an assessment of the academic and educational quality of the unit.

The program review consists of two major parts: a self-study and a site visit. The self-study has already been completed and submitted. This email is about the site visit, which will take place on April 29-30.

During the site visit, the review committee will meet with members from the CEE community to hear about program strengths, challenges, and aspirations. You are invited to participate. We have already submitted the site visit agenda, which includes meeting times for students to meet with the committee. We know that not everyone will be able to participate during their allocated time slot, which is fine, but we do want to ensure that we have active participation from the CEE community.

I have created a Google Form where you can let us know whether or not you can participate in one of the review committee meetings.  Your response by Monday, April 22nd would be most appreciated.  Ideally, we will have a wide range of student interests, degrees and specializations represented.

Many thanks in advance for your time and input.
