All members of the Â鶹´«Ã½ community are invited to share their feedback with the General Education Reform Task Force via an online survey and at upcoming listening sessions.Â
As the group — 50 faculty, advisors, staff and students from across schools and campuses — begins to review existing general education curricula, it will depend on the experiences, creative ideas and thoughtful participation of the entire University.
The Office of the Provost task force will recommend a more integrative and unified model for adoption across the institution. The project aspires to develop a curriculum and learning outcomes, as described in the Plan for Pitt, that are unified, measurable and flexible while encouraging development in areas such as critical thinking, communication, intercultural and global competency, leadership, data analysis and collaboration.
Here's how you can share your feedback with the General Education Reform Task Force:
Attend a listening session
