Rules for the Election
Heather SharpeDepartment: Art Coming to the end of my first year as an interim CVPA representative to CAPC, I look forward to returning to work at CAPC and in particular continuing my work on the Program Review Committee. As a recent tenure-track hire at WCU, I am eager to play a more active role in curriculum and program development. Thank you for your consideration. Juliet WunschDepartment: Department of Theatre and Dance I am a member of the Department of Theatre and Dance, and would be honored to have your support to join CAPC. Assessment of student learning has been a particular interest and part of my university service since coming to West Chester University in 1999. My journey began with the Student Learning Outcome Committee (SLOC) where I explored ways to create student driven courses and programming. I was always intrigued by the challenge of using assessment in positive ways: to continue to improve student learning as well as increase student appreciation for their own development. After SLOC, I transitioned to a position on the Assessment Advisory Committee where we have spent time looking at the structure of assessment in the University, and the education of faculty members in the assessment process. This year I am serving on the Middle States Review Committee as a member of the team exploring Assessment Practices University wide. My interest in curriculum planning and academic policy is very student centered: What is a well rounded student? What type of student best represents the values and goals of West Chester University? How can the institution best meet student needs while maintaining the highest level of excellence? I could be an asset to CAPC for many reasons. I have a strong interest in understanding student learning. I am open minded and willing to recognize the unique needs of Colleges, Departments and Co-Curricular venues. I have a strong desire to understand the “big picture”. I am a committed team member, and strong collaborator. A position on CAPC would help me to expand my understanding of curricular choices made at the Department, College and University level. Created and copyrighted by Clifford Johnston, 2000-12 |
