Baccalaureate Core Co-Chairs
Senior Co-Chair - Dr. Dan Faltesek
Incoming Co-chair - Dr. Rene Reitsma
The Baccalaureate Core Co-chairs work with the BCD and Faculty Senate Executive Committee to develop and approve strategy, procedures and planning for the Baccalaureate Core. Along with the BCD and Academic Programs and Assessment (APA), the Co-chairs lead the committee through assessment of category reviews and course proposals. They are responsible for assigning course reviews to the committee and responding to proposals in the Curriculum Inventory Management (CIM) system, collaborate with partners on the committee to track and communicate course reviews and set the agendas for each week. Each co-chair typically serves two terms, and the Faculty Senate Executive Committee selects a new chair in rotating years.

Center for Teaching and LearningDr. Funmi Amobi The Center for Teaching and Learning has a new partnership with the BCC to provide faculty support with Bacc Core course creation and category review submissions. The foundational partnership between CTL and faculty acknowledges that CTL specializes in evidence-based pedagogical practices related to the Bacc Core while faculty know their disciplinary content. Dr. Amobi is available to provide 1:1 consultation to faculty to review or revise course proposals before they are submitted or after they are returned from BCC respectively. Faculty collaboration with CTL will help provide a clearer path to Bacc Core Course assessment. The BCC encourages faculty to meet with Dr. Amobi and attend workshops. If you are proposing a course in DPD or WIC, please contact program directors directly.
