\u201cAAC&U\u2019s 2010 summer institutes are designed to address in a variety of ways the central challenge facing higher education\u2014ensuring that all students achieve the high quality liberal education they need and deserve,\u201d said Carol Geary Schneider, AAC&U president. \u201cEach year, we are inspired by the exciting and innovative ways these institutions are tackling the challenge of improving liberal learning outcomes for all their students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now in its second year, AAC&U has designed the Engaging Departments Institute for deans, department chairs, and faculty working together in teams to improve and assess learning outcomes essential for all students. The purpose of this institute is to advance integrated and engaged learning practices in and across disciplines, and to assess broad student learning outcomes within individual department majors. This Institute is part of ongoing work in Liberal Education and America\u2019s Promise (LEAP), and is supported by the Teagle Foundation.<\/p>\n

All AAC&U institutes offer campus teams a time and place for sustained collaborative work on a project of importance to their campus along with a curriculum focused on important trends, research and best practices, and a resident faculty of educational experts.
