In addition, Kay Schneider met with the group to talk about student profile information, and Larry Papenfuss talked about health behavior survey data. A student panel met with the Commission to answer questions and share their perceptions of experiences at Concordia. Students want something relevant. Co-curriculars are part of our uniqueness. Liberal arts offers a counterbalance to that culture, helps students cut through the noise, e.g., service learning reflection.
Integrative reflection puts it all together.
Dreams that this institution can find a way with our strategic plan and curriculum development where administrators, faculty, and students are all on the same page. We need to understand who we really are, with excitement. Freshman experience and retention. Orientation should continue through the first year rather than three days. Prepare students to live in the world they are going to live in.
