Global Inquiry Faculty Training Seminar (June 28 - July 22)
Global Inquiry Faculty Training Seminar (GIFTS) is a four-week seminar focused on helping Jackson State faculty to retool to meet the needs of the global inquiry focus of JSU's Quality Enhancement Plan. It meets June 28 through July 22 (excluding Fridays and weekends) from 10 AM to 3 PM. Participants will work through a series of analytical questions, discuss common readings, learn to integrate technology into courses and maintain a journal documenting these experiences. Faculty should emerge from GIFTS ready to develop first-year experience courses that reflect the themes of inquiry methods of the QEP. To participate please contact Robert Blaine at robert.blaine@jsums.edu.

Students, We've Listened to You
Based on our focus groups, we've determined that students' primary concerns are the core curriculum, followed by teaching styles and modalities and availability for mentorship in particular and help more generally. Their common concerns cut across three topics: enhancing the academic environment for student learning, strengthening the general studies curriculum and teaching innovative learning strategies.

Model Academic Assessment Programs at JSU
"How's my driving?" We've seen that bumper sticker on countless trucks and cars on the highway. Academic assessment asks something quite similar. How's our instruction? Curriculum? Preparation for the worlds of work and graduate school? Faculty, staff and administrators who are revising, rethinking and otherwise improving their assessment programs gathered to discuss some of the university's model assessment programs in the afternoon session of SACS Readiness Day. Below are the presentations outlining those assessment programs.
