General Education Reform is Focus of Three-Day Fair at SSU

The ways that general education courses are delivered to students is the subject of a three-day "G.E. Fair" from Feb. 15-17 in Schulz 3001 at Sonoma State University.

Called "Aiming High for a New G.E. at Sonoma State," the fair will be held on:

* Tuesday, Feb. 15, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
* Wednesday, Feb. 16, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
* Thursday, Feb. 17, 8 a.m.-3 p.m.

At the event, faculty, staff, administrators, and students will have the opportunity to view materials on a variety of general education and freshman year initiatives from around the country, see a presentation on a "First Year Experience" pilot program proposal at SSU which is now moving through the Academic Senate, ask questions and contribute their views about G.E. reform.

A list of issues and concerns to be addressed can be found at http://www.sonoma.edu/pubs/nb/2_07_05/GEfair.html.
