George Kuh is Coming - 1.21.10
Late last week we were able to cofirm arrangements that will allow us to bring Dr. George Kuh, Chancellor's Professor of Higher Education and Director, Center for Postsecondary Research at Indiana University, to UWRF in March. While the most visible part of Dr. Kuh's visit will be his public address on the eve of Chancellor Van Galen's inauguration, his visit will also assist our campus in enhancing our "high impact educational practices." If you are interested in participating in the events surrounding his visit, keep an eye on the UWRF home page for more information.
