Supporting Students

Now that the semester has launched, please be aware of any students who may begin to show signs that challenges are impacting their academic performance. If you have any concerns about your students, in addition to reaching out to them yourself, please also contact Joint Intervention using the link on the top of Moodle courses or on the home page of theROCK as shown below. Thank you for being proactive in helping our students succeed!

Remember FERPA When Sharing Course Videos

As a reminder, any videos from classes that are recorded are protected by FERPA and must not be shared beyond the class participants (i.e., the videos cannot be made public). This guidance applies to all faculty this semester in alignment with UNW's Lecture Capture guidelines. You can reference this video on how to create and share a video appropriately with your class while honoring FERPA rights.

New Director of Core Curriculum

I am pleased to announce that Jessica Moore has accepted the position of Director of Core Curriculum. Her involvement in the Core Curriculum Revision Committee was integral in the development of the new Core Curriculum. Her skills and experience will be beneficial as she takes on the responsibility for the leadership, oversight, and coordination of the core curriculum. Jessica is a Professor in the Berntsen Library. Please join me in congratulating Jessica on her outstanding contributions to the development and implementation of the new Core Curriculum and taking on this new role.
