The University Gallery
Opening Reception Friday, March 24 from 5:00 until 7:00 PM
This exhibition is intended to demonstrate how creativity and technology converge to explore areas of inquiry, solve problems and answer research questions across the college. Each of the six schools in CAD is represented by one faculty member, one undergraduate student or class project, and one graduate student.
At our CAD Undergraduate Program Chair meeting on September 6th, Leah Bradley, Assistant Director of Educational Effectiveness Assessment at RIT presented an update on Learning Outcomes Assessment in CAD. Please note that this year’s Progress Report will happen earlier this year. Progress Report #7 kicks off October 3rd and closes December 15th, so keep an eye out for emails from the newly renamed office of Educational Effectiveness Assessment (previously the office of Student Learning Outcomes Assessment).

Hello CAD Community,
CAD is in the process of revising it’s current strategic plan. The revised plan spans 10 years and is entitled Roadmap to Excellence: CAD Strategic Plan 2015-2025. The revisions to plan focus on ensuring that it is aligned with the University’s 10 year (2015-2015) plan “Greatness Through Difference”.
A few weeks ago a clipboard survey was sent out to all faculty and staff. Unfortunately, the response was quite low. Before moving ahead with the revision the CAD Strategic Plan Steering committee would like to make sure that we have input from all who would like to share with us.
An update on the First Year and Foundations experience for CAD from FY Coordinator, Graham Carson:
Dear Colleagues,
Since assuming this role, in addition to scheduling foundations courses and securing adjunct faculty, I have been focusing on soliciting input from faculty members from the various departments including those teaching Foundations courses. If I have not spoken to you yet, fear not, your voice is valuable and your input will be asked for and received!
Communication: Across the board and up and down the ladder. Sharing of ideas and knowledge of what is happening will benefit all.

Degree Audit is a new advising tool that the RIT Registrar’s Office has developed to track student progress toward degree completion.
This system is designed to replace our old audit approach of checking off classes taken on paper Planning Sheets.
Students entering RIT in the following academic years will have access to an online degree audit:
Students who entered prior to the 2013-2014 academic year will follow an IAP through to graduation. (SIS will not generate a degree audit for these students)
Interested in proposing a new Study Abroad experience? There’s a new group in CAD who can help you navigate the process – The CAD Student International Experience committee (SIEC).
