Working Group Interim Reports

The eleven Working Groups submitted their Interim Reports in December 2009. These reports are designed to be preliminary summaries of the Working Group's analysis and discussion to date. It is expected that the final Working Group chapter drafts will differ from the interim reports. However, the Interim Reports provide a summary of the discussions to date and provide a sense of preliminary findings.

In addition, you may learn more about what themes were addressed in the 2010-11 Self Study by reviewing the Self Study Design Document which was developed in spring semester 2009.
