The University will initiate the third phase of the renovation project this summer. Renovations for this past year have included rooms in Harvill, Social Sciences, and Music. The renovated classrooms are upgraded with respect to technology, acoustics, comfort, accessibility, sight-lines, etc. Similar to the renovation project, all undergraduate classrooms with heavy use have been surveyed for technology and audio-visual needs. A program designed to ensure that students have the opportunity to graduate in four years if they so desire.
Students sign up during their freshman orientation.
Each year approximately 600 freshmen sign up. The colloquia have become extremely popular with students and parents alike. Now in its third year, this program affords students an opportunity to take a small class taught by a senior faculty member. Over 140 colloquia were offered this past year. By their nature, student outcome measures are the result of many influences, including student academic preparation and background, as well as the impact of the University environment.
