Finding a Fit
What are you doing?1) How does this program fit within your
departmental mission?
2) What can you offer beyond a simple lecture? (think multi-‐media, concert, debate, panel)
3) Would you go to this program as a student? (why or why not?)
4) Is this a good use of resources (What’s your cost-‐per-‐student?)
