Please join me in celebrating the resurgence of SL/CE courses for our students. As of this writing, we have 31 unique sections officially designated as SL/CE. SL/CE courses offer students significant benefits including increased GPAs, higher retention, higher satisfaction, enhanced critical thinking, and heightened self-awareness.
Instructors also report benefits from SL/CE courses including more engaged students, increased sense of satisfaction, opportunities for scholarship, and, specifically at Upstate SL/CE, activities are increasingly recognized in the evaluation and promotion and tenure processes.
Below we list the officially designated SL/CE course offerings we currently have on the books for Fall ’23. If you are teaching a course that should be on this list, please let me know and we can make it happen. We want to track SL/CE activity to reward faculty who invest in this important pedagogy and to demonstrate that SL/CE has impacts at Upstate similar to those reported an many other institutions.
These classes include the foundations of SL/CE courses: connection to our community, overt attention to career skill-building, and guided reflection
