Promoted Pre-Law at Major Mixer 2021 with a new mini-zine. Received press from MCO and on the @CNMLiberalArts Instagram page featuring a Pre-law graduate in May who has transferred to UNM for the Pre-Law concentration in the Philosophy Department. Streamlined the curriculum for the 21-22 catalog to remove many Sociology electives. This was to prevent some double- and triple-degree seeking from students who would seek the Sociology, Criminology, and Pre-Law degrees. This may lead to a decrease in graduates for this degree, but that was intentional to assist student in moving on to their transfer institution. Challenge: departure of FT Political Science instructor who shared recruitment and program development responsibilities.

      Interpretation of Assessment findings
      The Absence of assessment processes in this discipline offer a unique opportunity to rethink assessment practices. The coming cycle’s assessment activities will focus on preparation for the transition to the Assessment Academy model in fall 2023. With the help of the Senior Director of Assessment, faculty in these programs will engage in facilitated activities and conversations designed to address faculty understanding and perceptions of the role of assessment in effective teaching and learning. Planned activities, including an Introduction to Assessment workshop and discipline-specific guided conversations, will (re)introduce concepts of informed teaching and prompt faculty to begin considering what they want to know about their teaching, student success, and the curriculum.
