Description
Pittsburgh’s project centers in how “the faculty can contribute to the academic success of students.” The faculty will look at characteristics of successful learners, the factors that block success, and the strategies the faculty can adopt “that will build on the former while reducing the latter.” The focal activity of the project is a faculty retreat, even though faculty intends to gather in less formal settings to discuss issues related to teaching and learning. Two outcomes hoped for by the faculty include revision of student orientation and student advisement in light of the learning from the project.
