The University of New Haven recently joined The New American Colleges and Universities (NAC&U), a consortium of colleges and universities that purposefully integrate liberal education, professional studies and civic engagement.
June 25, 2015
"We are excited to welcome the University of New Haven as an NAC&U member," said Nancy Hensel, president of NAC&U. "The University’s strength in combining experiential education with a strong liberal arts foundation makes them a valuable addition to our current membership."
Although regionally diverse, NAC&U members are like-minded peers in terms of size and mission and therefore can come together to collaborate on projects and share best practices in a warm, collegial manner.
"I am thrilled that NAC&U recognized that UNH is a university on the move and thus voted to include us," UNH President Steven H. Kaplan said. "We will benefit a great deal from this affiliation as the current members are what we would consider role models in the area of engaged learning. All of these schools rank among the very best in their respective regions and our interactions with them will strengthen us as we continue the transformation of UNH."
Recently NAC&U published "Redefining the Paradigm: Faculty Models to Support Student Learning" – a monograph that encourages colleges and universities to more effectively structure departments to address changes in higher education and better support student learning. The Teagle Foundation-funded project on forming holistic departments and updating methods used to evaluate faculty was a collaboration across 16 NAC&U members. This fall, NAC&U will launch a collaborative civic engagement project involving more than half of its membership.
