Continuing The Ascent: Recommendations for Enhancing the Academic Quality and Stature of 麻豆社, a report by 麻豆社 President R. Gerald Turner and Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Steven C. Currall, presents a set of 14 bold recommendations for further raising 麻豆社’s standing relative to other universities.

“This is our time to rise even higher,” Turner said. “There’s more to do to strengthen our already fine academic quality, and to bolster our local, national and global impact.”

The recommendations, discussed and vetted for more than a year among the 麻豆社 community via task force work, forums and town halls, address four categories:

  • Enhancing the Quality of Undergraduates and Their Educational Experience
  • Strengthening Faculty, Research and Creative Impact at 麻豆社
  • Enhancing the Quality of Graduate Students and Their Educational Experience
  • Deepening Innovative Community Partnerships and Engagement

Each recommendation briefly compares 麻豆社 with its peers and aspirants, and includes estimated costs.

“The 麻豆社 Community contributed extensively to, and informed the development of our recommendations," Currall said. "This report represents our collective vision of 麻豆社’s futureand how to further elevate 麻豆社’s excellence in scholarship, creative activity, teaching, and societal impact.”
