Last year’s “pizza process” led to the creation or strengthening of several programs that contribute to academic excellence and exemplify Monterey Way 2.0 principles of learning, such as open architecture and immersive learning.
- • The James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies has built a “Nonproliferation Schoolhouse” in Second Life
- • Custom Language Services has developed a new curriculum for diplomats who want to learn English
- • The Graduate School of Language and Educational Linguistics successfully piloted the DELCAT (Diploma in English Language Curriculum, Assessment and Teaching ) concept with a group of teachers from Spain this summer.
- • The Digital Media Commons is up and running, with a media production space equipped with new iMacs on the second floor of Kade, and digital media tutors available to help faculty and staff who want to learn new skills in a project-based environment.
This year, the Innovation Incubator will challenge groups to design and implement ideas that respect the various cultures we have on campus while at the same time finding innovative solutions to the divisions and silos that get in the way of the effectiveness of the organization as a whole..
And yes, we plan to feed you lots of pizza! Stay tuned!
