(CSU Goals1 1, 3, 4) During a retreat held by the Vice President for Academic Affairs in the summer of 2003, academic colleges renewed their commitment to increase student engagement and later set goals to expand student activities inside and outside the classroom environment. Many objectives have been met dur- ing the 2003-04 academic year. Below are some examples of how academic departments are enhancing the as- pects of their students’ learning experiences. · CSU’s biology curriculum generated extraordinary experiences for students in 2004. Highlights included a swim with dolphins along the Bahamian ocean reef while there to study the ecosystems of Andros Island, and an interactive demonstration in the Australian rainforest of the endangered “flying fox” by one of Australia’s leading environmental scientists. Incorporating such activity into the curriculum has merited the “Best Prac- tices in International Education: Most Internationalized Academic Unit” designation from the University System of Georgia Board of Regents.
