Item Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2002) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2003) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2005-05-23) University of Minnesota: General CollegeThe current attempt to make the University one of the top three publicly funded research institutions in the world would come at a cost to the citizens of Minnesota. Of necessity we will have to recast the notion of the “land-grant university” to fit with contemporary politics and to limit access in order to foster an illusion of excellence and exclusivity. I differ with the current administration in principle over the issue of access. The inscription above Northrop Auditorium refers to all youth—not differentiated by social class origins, race or ethnicity, gender or sexual preference. Seventy-three years ago University President Lotus Coffman proposed the establishment of a program that would increase access and ease the transition of students into the rigors of academic life. Since then, the General College has fulfilled this mission and earned the reputation of being the nation’s premier developmental education program.Item Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2006-02-14) University of Minnesota: General CollegeOn campus, it’s a bad time to be a creature of habit! Higher education faces an unprecedented convergence of pressures. The University of Minnesota must change in profound ways or it will wither. The resulting ambitious strategic positioning process being worked through at the University this year brings daily challenges and opportunities. Many readers of Access are aware that under this plan General College will be part of the reorganization of six current colleges into three new colleges. Beginning in July, we will be part of the new College of Education and Human Development.Item Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2002) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2006-04-27) University of Minnesota: General CollegeAs we get ready to close up General College at the end of June, after 74 years, we are roused toward hope by the vitality all around us. We are well on the way toward realizing the major structural changes to emerge from the University’s Strategic Positioning process. The academic heart of General College will be reconfigured on July 1 as the new Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning. Our advising and student support services will re-emerge in the Student and Professional Services department. We look forward to another year of intense program building in the new College of Education and Human Development.Item Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2004) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2002) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2001) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2005-10-14) University of Minnesota: General CollegeIn his strategic positioning plan, adopted by the Board of Regents in June 2005, President Bob Bruininks has challenged the University to change. The Regents have set the bar high for academic improvements, with a 10-year aspiration that the University emerge as one of the top three public research universities in the world. That Strategic Positioning Initiative (www1.umn.edu/systemwide/strategic_positioning/) makes 40 recommendations affecting nearly every corner of the Twin Cities campus, including the merger of six colleges into three. Under the plan, General College will become a department in a transformed College of Education and Human Development.Item Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2003) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2004) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2003) University of Minnesota: General CollegeItem Access: The General College Magazine(University of Minnesota: General College, 2004-11-02) University of Minnesota: General CollegeThe mission of Access is to tell the General College story, whether through the teaching, research, and advising of our talented and committed faculty and staff or via the accomplishments of our students and alumni. In this issue, we introduce a new feature, “From the Archives.” As GC approaches its 75th anniversary in 2007, we will look at a noteworthy item from the General College Archives that, we hope, illuminates an important, but forgotten aspect of our legacy.Item Annual Report 2006-2007: Transforming how higher education serves the world(University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human Development, 2007) University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human DevelopmentTransforming how higher education serves the worldItem Connect! [Fall 2007](University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human Development, 2007) University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human Development"Research at all levels informs and supports the College’s vision to serve as a model for engagement. As this issue makes clear, the power of discovery is not just the provenance of our faculty members; it is an integral part of the undergraduate and graduate student experience. Student research, particularly at the undergraduate level, is also a key step toward the University’s goal of becoming a top three public research institution. Our students benefit from the resources of a Research I university and our faculty members’ dedication to incorporating a positive and meaningful research experience into learning." (From Dean Bailey)Item Connect! [Winter 2008](University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human Development, 2008) University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human DevelopmentAs we enter the second half of the academic year, I look back with pride on an autumn and winter once again filled with focused hard work that led to amazing achievements. Our College’s commitment to serve as a model for most “impact-full” engagement—one component of our guiding vision and mission—continues to take shape in multiple collaborations and initiatives that reach across our departments, centers, and administrative units, linking us with outside communities both far and near. In one initiative a team of faculty, students, and staff brought clinical talents, much needed supplies, and assessment and referral abilities to hard-hit areas of the Gulf Coast. Other members of our College community offered their unique skills and support to those affected by a tragedy closer to home—the Interstate 35W bridge collapse. From Dean Bailey’s introduction.Item Connect!: for alumni and friends of the new College of Education and Human Development [Fall/Winter 2006](University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human Development, 2006) University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human DevelopmentDear alumni and friends, Welcome to our College’s new magazine, connect! As we went back and forth over the summer to find an appropriate name for this new publication, we knew we wanted the name to reflect communication, collaboration, and community. All those “co” words have deep meaning for this, our new College, and we believe this magazine will reflect our new “co” culture!Item Connect!: for alumni and friends of the new College of Education and Human Development [Spring 2007](University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human Development, 2007) University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human DevelopmentOur new College is now eight months old! And like any eight-month old, it is growing, changing, and developing daily. Just as we “birthed” this new being together, so we are all now serving to “parent” it to maturity. It’s an awesome experience! Our team of associate deans is now in place: Jean Quam, Heidi Barajas, Mary Bents, and David R. Johnson. You can read more about each of them and their roles in this issue of Connect! In addition to the associate deans, the leadership of our College also is in the hands, minds, and hearts of our department chairs, center directors, and administrative directors.Item Connect!: for alumni and friends of the new College of Education and Human Development [Summer 2007](University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human Development, 2007) University of Minnesota: College of Education and Human Development...as we thrive and grow as a new college, we will continue to take a leadership role by generating innovations in a variety of areas to redesign, then model the ways that higher education can best serve the world. This issue of Connect! focuses on one of those areas—how we can harness technology to most effectively and meaningfully educate our students and create new applications for research.
