ALL ACADEMICS AT UC SAN DIEGO (INCLUDING HEALTH SCIENCES)

SUBJECT:    Reminder: Graduate Program Development Workshop Tomorrow, 11/15/18, Strategic Academic Program Development (SAPD)

In preparation for the next Strategic Academic Program Development (SAPD) Request for Proposals (RFP) coming up in January 2019, the SAPD Support Team led by Director Williams Ettouati, has planned a series of informational workshops to assist faculty and academic units with proposal development. Each workshop will focus on either a specific type of SAPD program or on the SAPD financial model.

UC San Diego's Strategic Academic Program Development (SAPD) Initiative was launched last spring in response to the changing landscape of higher education. An increasingly competitive environment, evolving learner demand, financial pressures at the state and federal levels, and technological advances all require that universities expand the variety and modalities of educational programs we offer. The initial RFP yielded an outstanding set of proposals that were well aligned with the aims of the SAPD initiative: to enhance the experience and outcomes of students, strengthen UC San Diego’s reputation in research and education, and grow institutional revenues for future investment in the education and research enterprise. Selected proposals from RFP1 are listed here: http://adminrecords.ucsd.edu/Notices/2018/2018-6-29-3.html

With the launch of RFP2, we look forward to working with faculty and academic units on developing an expanded set of innovative curricular and delivery opportunities. Please join us for one or more of these informative workshops to engage with SAPD Support Team members, campus experts and faculty exemplars. All of the workshops have been designed to allow ample time for discussion/Q&A following the panel presentations.
