The mission of the university is to develop in its students capacities for critical analysis, aesthetic appreciation, sound judgment, and apt expression that will sustain a lifetime of intellectual curiosity, active inquiry, and reasoned independence. A Puget Sound education, both academic and cocurricular, encourages a rich knowledge of self and others; an appreciation of commonality and difference; the full, open, and civil discussion of ideas; thoughtful moral discourse; and the integration of learning, preparing the university's graduates to meet the highest tests of democratic citizenship. Such an education seeks to liberate each person's fullest intellectual and human potential to assist in the unfolding of creative and useful lives. Puget Sound Mission

Clarify campus-wide essential student learning dimensions aligned with mission Adopt or develop additional direct measures of those student learning dimensions Revise mission fulfillment model to incorporate new measures Demonstration project goals

The undergraduate curriculum will emphasize the following educational goals: the ability to think logically and analytically; the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, both orally and in writing; intellectual autonomy and the accompanying capacity to learn independently of a formal educational structure; an understanding of the interrelationship of knowledge; familiarity with diverse fields of knowledge; solid grounding in the special field of the student's choosing; an acknowledged set of personal values; and informed appreciation of self and others as part of a broader humanity in the world environment Educational Goals

The mission of the university is to develop in its students capacities for critical analysis, aesthetic appreciation, sound judgment, and apt expression that will sustain a lifetime of intellectual curiosity, active inquiry, and reasoned independence. A Puget Sound education, both academic and co-curricular, encourages a rich knowledge of self and others, an appreciation of commonality and difference, the full, open, and civil discussion of ideas, thoughtful moral discourse, and the integration of learning, preparing the university's graduates to meet the highest tests of democratic citizenship. Such an education seeks to liberate each person's fullest intellectual and human potential to assist in the unfolding of creative and useful lives. Aligning mission and education goals To these ends, the faculty has selected the following goals to emphasize in the undergraduate curriculum: the ability to think logically and analytically; the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, both orally and in writing; intellectual autonomy and the accompanying capacity to learn independently of a formal educational structure; an understanding of the interrelationship of knowledge; familiarity with diverse fields of knowledge; solid grounding in the special field of the student's choosing; an acknowledged set of personal values; informed appreciation of self and others as part of a broader humanity in the world environment.

Goal: Clarify essential learning dimensions that are Clear, detailed, and measurable Aligned with mission Broadly understood and accepted Focus on the question: How should our students change as a result of their time at Puget Sound? 70% of continuing faculty took part (148 in 18 sessions) Sessions for academic and student affairs leadership teams Campus discussions of outcomes

How should our students change?
