Process and Timelines
The Task Force of General Education Curriculum launched June 29, 2021. Since then, a robust group of staff, students, and administrators has been working on the review and analysis of best practices, literature, recommendations, and valuable information to design a core curriculum for the next generation of leaders and changemakers.
Together, we are crafting meaningful changes to help students not only find their purposes and inspirations, but also be prepared for the intricacies and intersections ever-present in today's global society.
