Other Information:

Ensure that the planned Learning Commons addition to Perry Library becomes a flexible, inviting space to facilitate student learning through exploration, discussion, collaboration, and access to technology that supports their out-of-class assignments and needs. Obtain regular feedback from faculty and students regarding effectiveness of the Learning Commons in facilitating student success. Continue technological enrichment and modernization of all learning spaces on campus and at Higher Education Centers, including laboratories, performing arts spaces, studios, and library study areas, and complete the mediation of all appropriate classrooms. Include group study areas as part of all future new building and building renovation plans. Ensure that strategic management of enrollment continues on an annual basis and that growth in enrollment is in line with resources available to support student success. Measures of Success: 1. Using 2008-09 as a baseline, increased number and percentage of total mediated classrooms. 2. Increased student use of Perry Library and Learning Commons. 3. Beginning in 2009-10, annual reports on technology and space improvements made and planned. 4.
