11-2-17 Weekly Three

November 2, 2017

Colleagues,

Here is the Weekly Three:

Updates from Office of Liberal Education (OLE)

  • As of October 2017, all Global Miami Plan (GMP) course proposals, with the exception of Advanced Writing and Thematic Sequence courses, are now embedded within the universal “Course Proposal Form,” found at: http://miamioh.edu/liberal-ed/faculty-staff/mp-proposals/index.html
  • Departments and programs no longer need to submit current GMP courses to be recertified for the new plan. The OLE is developing a long-term strategy to work with individual departments on updating existing courses to reflect the new GMP competencies and outcomes, along with providing direction on GMP course assessment prior to departmental/program review.

Provost Fellows Program - This year, the Office of the Provost is developing a leadership program for tenured professors who are contemplating a future in university-level leadership.

The three faculty selected will each head a leadership project during the 2017-18 academic year, under the guidance of one of the Associate Provosts. This year’s Provost Fellows are:

Amanda Diekman, Professor, Department of Psychology
Amit Shukla, Professor, Department of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering
Zara Torlone, Professor, Department of Classics
