LTC

Efforts are underway to help our campus community explore more deeply our Institutional Learning Goals (ILGs), which reflect what it means to be educated in the Catholic and Marianist traditions at the University of Dayton.  Thanks to the work of a number of groups, conversations are occurring and resources are being developed to help faculty and staff think about how to more intentionally integrate and incorporate these ILGs in our work with students.  Recall that the Habits of Inquiry and Reflection (HIR) document from 2006 articulates the seven Institutional Learning Goals for our students:

• Scholarship
• Faith traditions
• Diversity
• Community
• Practical wisdom
• Critical evaluation of our times
• Vocation.
• Two groups, one focused on Vocation and one focused on Practical Wisdom, developed working papers to enhance our understanding of these ILGs and take stock of what is already being done on campus to help our students pursue these ILGs.  These working papers can be found on the Provost’s web site (https://www.udayton.edu/provost/about/resources.php).  

Beginning last academic year, a third working group was convened around the ILG of Community.  That team, led by Steve Herndon (Student Development) and Kelly Johnson (Religious Studies), is completing their working paper, which will be available on the Provost’s web site later this semester.

All of the efforts to explore three of our ILGs more deeply have led to the creation of teams designed to help faculty, staff, and students with pursuit of these goals.  The Vocation team is led by Steve Wilhoit (English/LTC) and Crystal Sullivan (Campus Ministry) and a Practical Wisdom team is being chaired by Steve Bein (Philosophy).

Be on the lookout for opportunities to engage with these groups in their work in the coming semesters and, if you are interested in convening a group around one of the ILGs that remain to be explored, please reach out to Michelle Pautz, Assistant Provost for the Common Academic Program (CAP), at mpautz1@udayton.edu.
