Innovation Collective

The A&S Innovation Collective will focus on identifying new opportunities to strengthen the college's academic programs, research, enrollment and long-term sustainability. While other aspects of the renewal process examine the college's current structure and operations, this group will look ahead to consider what Arts and Sciences can build over the next five to ten years.

Areas of exploration will include new academic programs, credentials, partnerships and instructional delivery models that respond to evolving student needs, workforce demands and emerging areas of research. This work will build upon existing faculty expertise, courses, facilities and partnerships to create opportunities for growth and innovation.

The Innovation Collective will engage faculty, staff and other stakeholders throughout its work to gather ideas, explore opportunities and inform the development of prioritized recommendations that support the college's continued growth, innovation and long-term success.
