Randy Virden, Director of the School of Community Resources and Development was present to respond to questions including, admissions, program objectives, assessment and learning outcomes, curricular structure, capstone experience, and target audience for this degree. The proposal concept was endorsed by the Council; however, a recommendation was withheld pending further consideration by the school for a change of the name for the proposed degree to better reflect the professional focus of the proposed program as well as for inclusion of other revisions that may be necessitated by this name change.
