Core Committees
Co Chairs: Michael Horan and Stella Oh
The Implementation Task Force membership includes the nine faculty members of the UCCC who will be responsible for all curricular aspects of the Core implementation. In addition there will be seven faculty, administrators and staff members who will focus on the administrative aspects and support structures that make implementation run smoothly. These Task Force Members enlist others and facilitate processes associated with the Core start-up. Finally, there are other members of the campus community who will not serve on the task force but their expertise will be solicited by task force members both in formal meetings and in informal collaboration.
UCCC Membership will oversee the working groups and subcommittees that address the following tasks:
(1) Core Requirement Criteria
