Senate Meets at Guelph-Humber
The November Senate meeting was held at the University of Guelph-Humber. Senators were welcomed by John Davies, president of the Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, and Guelph-Humber vice-provost John Walsh.
At the invitation of the Senate Priorities and Planning Committee (SPPC), Prof. Julia Christensen Hughes, chair of the Department of Business and U of G's academic colleague to the Council of Ontario Universities, gave a presentation on “Transforming the Undergraduate Learning Experience,” followed by small-group discussions. Her presentation will be posted on the University Secretariat/Senate website in the next few weeks.
SPPC also presented three priorities for the work of Senate and its committees over the upcoming year:
Address systemic barriers to change.
Develop guidelines and policies to support curriculum transformation.
Build shared understanding and context for decisions and issues presented to Senate and its standing committees, and promote Senate's capacity for advocacy around issues that affect scholarship and educational policy.
