In our conference in Seattle, we will explore a number of ways that challenges can be viewed as opportunities. We will continue to focus, as we have for the last several years, on changing models of student success: predictive analytics, pathways, intrusive advising, etc. We’ll be reporting on the outcomes from our three year project, Re-Imagining the First Year (RFY), as well as providing reports from our Frontier Set (FS) work. We will also be looking at faculty issues and concerns such as shared governance, contingent faculty, new approaches to professional development, support for department chairs, etc. We’ll be considering other campus-wide issues such as free speech, sexual assault, collaboration with student affairs, and a variety of others.
