CASTL Campus Program

WWU named as Cluster Leader by Carnegie

In spring 2002 at its annual Colloquium, the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) named Western Washington University as one of its national cluster leaders. Through spring of 2006, Western provided leadership for a group of five institutions. In that leadership role, Western facilitated national and international conversations on ways to partner with students as agents of institutional change.

From 2003-2006, as part of CASTL's Campus Program, five institutions formed a cluster under the theme Sustaining Student Voices in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning:

• California State University - Long Beach
• North Seattle Community College
• University of Maryland - College Park
• University of Washington - Bothell
• Western Washington University (coordinating institution)

To showcase their work, the Student Voices cluster developed a Cluster Snapshot and a CD-Rom including "Eco-Principles" and glimpses of five institutional models for partnering with students in this scholarship.
