Center for Academic Innovation
The Center for Academic Innovation will expand the University's portfolio of in-demand credentials by serving as a portal for academic initiatives originating from community college partners, business and industry, advisory boards, and community organizations as well as our colleges, schools, departments, and faculty. The Center identifies priorities, coordinates development and approval processes, and facilitates partnerships.
A primary focus of the Center is to engage internal and external stakeholders in the creation of educational experiences to prepare students for successful careers, meaningful lives, and continuous learning. Business and community outreach, pathway building, curriculum design, marketing, recruitment, program delivery, and assessment are brought together in the development process from idea to launch. The Center mobilizes the competitive advantages of the University as a premium provider of academic credentials and leverages these advantages to deliver learning opportunities to new populations and next generations of students.
Advisory Council
The Center for Academic Innovation Advisory Council reviews curricular initiatives and prospects, provides input, supports development processes, and facilitates collaboration and change management.
The Council structure and membership are under review. A new Council will be convened as of July 1, 2022.
