This workshop will discuss the process of assessing student learning outcomes by focusing on the final step – using assessment findings for decisions about maintaining or changing the educational experiences related to a student learning goal. Decisions, however, depend on a clear understanding of the nature of the learning goal, the methods, measures, and analyses utilized in the assessment, and typical levels of student performance, among other factors. The workshop’s examination of using assessment results will be informed by specific cases of “closing the loop” at KU and other institutions. If you are planning to attend the workshop, please respond to sreed@kutztown.edu with the time you would like to attend. Carole V.

Jeann Cengeri, Multicultural Center In Memoriam -- Raymond Lucas, June 29, 1933 - May 6, 2011 - Dr. Lucas was founding chairperson of the Kutztown University Department of Philosophy. His keen academic vision, dedication to philosophy, and steady leadership were formative for both students and colleagues. Ray was remarkably versatile. He was a championship hydroplane racer, opera aficionado, NASCAR and Indy car fan, travelled and studied widely, and enjoyed playing the saxophone. Above all he was devoted to his wife, Iva, and family. Perhaps these words of Hume will resonate most clearly with our memory of Raymond Lucas, and will convey his outlook and his spirit best, ”…the genius of philosophy, if carefully cultivated, must gradually diffuse throughout society … Be a philosopher; but amidst all your philosophy; be still a man.” (An obituary in detail is posted on the "Our Faculty" page of the KU Philosophy Department website.)
