Student-Faculty Curriculum Planning Dinner

Results of a follow-up survey conducted with the students who participated in this event (approximately 50% return) indicated that the small group format for providing feedback was useful and productive, allowing for the provision of meaningful input to the curriculum development process. The survey found that 61% of those responding would like to offer additional input to the curriculum development process, with 67% stating an interest in a continuing role with the curriculum development effort. Also, as part of the survey, the students were asked how they would like to be kept informed of progress and/or activities of the Macy project; 67% indicated e-mail updates as their top priority information source. A communication plan is being developed in consultation with Macy student representatives who serve on the Macy Advisory Committee.
