It’s time to commit to improve URM enrollment.

It’s not just a question of increasing applications.It’s not only about enrolling more underrepresented students but also how they experience Gillings.What happens during admissions that may reduce numbers?What barriers to admission could be reduced?

78% of ASPPH members showed declines in total applications.

1. Continue current goals for inclusive excellence, academic programs, research and other goals highlighted earlier.

2. Finalize research strengths and promote.

3. Build out research hubs in NC and Zambia.

4. Conduct focused strategic planning effort as a follow-on to SPH2020.

Keep Gillings Strong

“American higher education has become what, in the business world, would be called a mature enterprise,

increasingly risk-averse, at times self-satisfied and unduly expensive. It has yet to successfully confront the impact of globalization, rapidly evolving technologies, an increasingly diverse and aging population, and an evolving marketplace characterized by new needs and paradigms.”

Clayton Christensen and Henry EyringThe Innovative University

Be inquisitive about pedagogy and research about academics

“The large lecture class, astonishingly, still exists. In a different environment, lecture halls would have gone the way of record albums, print newspapers, landline phones and network television. The typical first-year students of today rely on their cell phones as their primary information appliance, backed up by a laptop for serious research and writing.”
