General Education Update Professor Bruce Griffiths

All faculty teaching general education classes need to be sure to have an assessment plan with artifacts to assess. Contact Professor Griffiths is there are questions about this. Forthcoming from CPE, we will be needing to document how CPE's 10 Essential Skills pervade our General Education program. We will need to show where we are doing this, document it, and fill in any gaps.

Dual Credit Update Dr. Kristopher Grimes

Dr. Grimes reported that he’s visiting schools and signing them up for fall. Three have reached out to KSU to start Dual Credit in their schools. The priority is to get more Dual Credit students to become degree-seeking KSU students. Data so far shows that we are getting very little enrollment from Dual Credit students. What we are getting is mostly from Frankfort and Franklin County.
