Dear Cortland UUP Members,<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sharing the memo below with our colleagues for their action by submitting comments. The deadline for submitting comments on SUNY’s Micro-Credentialing Task Force Report and Recommendations is Wed., Nov. 8<\/strong>. The memo below was sent to campuses last month and includes the email address to respond to with comments. I expect many have already seen the memo through campus channels. By circulating it again, please consider this as a “last call” from me to participate in this review process.<\/p>\n Regards, Memorandum<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n To: \u00a0 Campus Presidents and Chief Academic Officers\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n From: \u00a0 Grace Wang, Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor for Research & Economic Development<\/strong><\/p>\n Subject: \u00a0\u00a0Comment Period<\/strong> Open: Micro-credentialing Task Force Report & Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n I am very pleased to open a comment period on the recommendations of the SUNY Micro-Credentialing Task Force as included in the attached report. My thanks to the Task Force members, which included representative campus presidents, provosts, faculty governance, student governance, registrars, business officers, institutional researchers, and continuing education officers. The Task Force\u00a0worked collaboratively to understand the still evolving landscape of micro-credentials and to develop recommendations that help to position SUNY as a leader in this space.<\/p>\n The Task Force recognizes the potential of micro-credentials to: enable campuses to more quickly respond to student need and industry demand; establish new academic\/industry partnerships; motivate students to persist toward academic and career goals; and bridge non-credit and credit-bearing coursework and experiences. You will see that the Task Force has recommended a definition for micro-credentials at SUNY and a path moving forward that recognizes the role of faculty in ensuring quality credentials and that is designed to give campuses maximum flexibility in designing a wide-range of micro-credentials to meet student interests and industry needs.<\/p>\n Please provide your feedback via e-mail to: provost@suny.edu<\/a> by Wednesday, November 8, 2017<\/strong>. If you have any questions in the interim, please contact: Associate Provost Fred Hildebrand at: Fred.Hildebrand@suny.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n President, University Faculty Senate<\/p>\n President, Faculty Council of Community Colleges<\/p>\n President, SUNY Student Assembly<\/p>\n Campus Registrars<\/p>\n Campus Business Officers<\/p>\n Institutional Research Directors<\/p>\n Continuing Education Directors<\/p>\n Campus Governance Leaders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Cortland UUP Members, I\u2019m sharing the memo below with our colleagues for their action by submitting comments.
