CAE Newsletter
Happy 2011! In this issue of the Center for Academic Excellence’s Newsletter, you will find news,
information on CAE offerings and other campus resources, as well as opportunities to engage in
various activities (so mark your calendars!). We look forward to working with you this semester!
Since 2003, the CAE has supported innovation and scholarship in teaching and learning across
Fairfield University. We eagerly support individual, department, program, or unit work on the
University’s strategic goals: Core Integration, Living & Learning, the Jesuit mission, and diversity. This
newsletter highlights ongoing work with collaborators across campus on these efforts.
“What’s happening?”
Faculty & Professional Staff Explore the “Core of the Core”
In Fall 2010, faculty and professional staff learned about and shared course content
and pedagogies, in a workshop series on “Foundational” Core Courses: English
(October 22), Religious Studies (November 10), and Philosophy (December 2). More
coming to come this spring! Find “Core of the Core” handouts at the CAE’s Core
Integration page.
Core Pathways Project Directors
Announcing the 2010 – 2011 Pathway Directors: Bob Epstein (Engaging Traditions, formerly
Appropriating Wisdom), Jo Yarrington (Creative and Aesthetic Engagement), Renée
White (Global Citizenship), Laura McSweeney and Linda Henkel (Quantitative
Reasoning), Cinthia Gannett (Rhetoric & Reflection), and Kraig Steffen (Scientific
Reasoning). Stay tuned for opportunities to engage in Core Pathway conversations,
and for Pathway events. Learn more about the Core Integration Initiative (CII) and
the Pathways Project. View the Pathways brochure to learn why the Pathways were formulated,
and discover their practical learning objectives. View a Summary of the Core Pathways.
Faculty & Students Unmask the Core
On October 29, 2010, faculty, first-year students, and peer advisors converged to
unmask the core. The 4th Annual Core Unmasked drew the campus community
together for interactive displays, integrative conversations, and a community
celebration of Core offerings. To view photographs of this event, visit the CAE’s
Core Integration page.
IDEA Student Rating System
In Fall 2010, the CAE collaborated with the Faculty Development & Evaluation
Committee (FDEC) on workshops to help faculty “get started with IDEA”. For more
information about IDEA implementation at Fairfield, visit the University’s IDEA site.
Key contacts: On-campus IDEA Coordinator: Tracy Immerso, Manager of
Academic Operations, Academic Affairs; and Dr. Angela Harkins, FDEC Chair.
