SUMMARY:Provost Lunch and Learn: “Building Pathways Between Programs”
DESCRIPTION:Provost Lunch and Learn: “Building Pathways Between Programs
 ”\nHosted by Chris Campbell\, Christine Nehring\, Carolyn MacLaren and M
 ichelle Rhodes\nThis Provost Lunch and Learn provides an early report and 
 energetic discussion on the work of The Strategic Initiative Funds (SIF) B
 uilding Pathways Between Programs (BP)2 project. The (BP)2 project team ha
 s been working on recommendations for how UFV can expand learning pathways
  for students who have earned vocational and non-credit credentials at UFV
 .\n\nOver its 50-year history\, UFV has graduated more than 50\,000 studen
 ts from diverse programs that have served the needs of our communities and
  employers. In many of these programs\, students received credentials but 
 no academic credit for their coursework because these programs were classi
 fied as vocational or trades education. When UFV’s vocational and non-cr
 edit credentials have been subsequently used in a small number of programs
 \, the processes have been confusing\, ad hoc or inconsistent\, poorly und
 erstood\, lacking sufficient resources\, and absent transparency within an
 d beyond the institution.\n\nUFV’s Integrated Strategic Plan (ISP)—IYA
 QAWTWXW\, or House of Transformation— and the Strategic Enrolment Manage
 ment (SEM) Plan offer strategic goals by which UFV can enhance its traditi
 on as an access institution:\n\n 	Identify and remove access barriers for 
 individuals from marginalized and underrepresented groups\n• Provide acc
 essible and flexible opportunities to support personalized\, lifelong lear
 ning\n• Integrate equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI) into all aspe
 cts of our institutional culture\n• Support various pathways that lead t
 o the attainment and recognition of students’ educational goals\n\nThis 
 session provides an overview of the work and specific recommendations on h
 ow to increase student mobility between programs of different types and cr
 edit structures. At the heart of the recommendations is a call for credit 
 equity and organizational changes designed to improve system coordination 
 and supports for returning and non-traditional students. We are looking fo
 rward to seeing you at this lunch and learn!\n\nHope to see you online. Ch
 ris Campbell\, Program Director\, Program Development &amp\; Quality Assur
