CEE LAUNCHES FACULTY GRANT PROGRAM A new CEE travel grant program has been developed to help expose faculty to key issues in teaching and learning in higher education by attending prominent conferences on higher education. CEE supports travel for up to 3 faculty to attend a leading conference during the 2009-10 academic year. Grant amounts $500 - $1500 each. A committee will review and evaluate grant proposals on the strength of their connection to the mission of the university and to the perceived benefit towards increasing our community's understanding of current issues in American higher education. Presenters will be requested to present information to other USD faculty at a lunch & learn session after attending the conference. For more information and for application materials, please visit http://www.sandiego.edu/cee/ceegrants. NEW FREQUENT ATTENDANCE REWARDS CEE introduces a recognition program to reward participation and involvement in the center's activities. The goal of this innovation is to increase participation in CEE events. This system honors the time and efforts that faculty and staff make toward improving teaching excellence and organizational development to enhance student learning. The idea is based on research indicating the importance of recognition in faculty development (Sorcinelli 1985; Seldin 1987; Fideler & Sorcinelli 1992; Sorcinelli 2002). The Center for Educational Excellence is celebrating its ten year anniversary on September 15 with an Open House event. Established in fall 1999, the center began as the Committee for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning with the role of providing a variety of staff development opportunities for faculty related to teaching and/or assessment of student learning. Initial committee members were Paula Cordiero (chair), Alana Nicastro, Susan Brizziarelli, Mitch Malachowski, Chris Wonnell, Mary Williams, Jane Georges, and Manzur Rahman who brought to the table their knowledge and expertise on developmental learning theory, cultural competence, distance education, assessment, measuring student achievement and recognition of the need to develop teaching resources and mentorship for USD’s faculty. Under the Center's first director, Dr. Carole Huston, the center became known as the Center for Educational Excellence in 2007. This new name reflected the expanded efforts of the center. Diversity programs that had historically been offered on campus under the Faculty Curriculum and Development Program became part of CEE’s new function. On September 15 from 1:15 - 2:15 pm CEE staff invite the campus community to visit our offices in Copley Library and to celebrate center milestones and the continuation of faculty, staff and organizational development at USD. Refreshments will be served. CEE Staff
