Professional Development System (WSE): Our door represents the evolution of our partnership with P-12 public schools. One side of the door represents the past and the other side of the door represents the future. In the past, education was based on rote memorization with the teacher as the central figure in the classroom. In future classrooms we are ‘diving’ towards more inquiry based instruction with student collaboration central to the educational process. This distinction is represented in our background photos. The door also represents our university-school partnerships. In the past, much of our work with partner schools has been compartmentalized with individual faculty working with certain schools. In the future, we hope to have more cross-district and international collaborations. This represents our move towards "partnerships without borders--" substantive partnerships that can be developed and sustained despite the challenges of distance and time. Location: WSE 160 |

Student Accounts and Cashier's Office: The Soaring Seahawk above the door represents our desire to seek and dive into new opportunities that support the University’s mission and efforts. Each fish bubble identifies an area of new opportunity for us; providing greater customer service, increasing efficiencies, going green, generating support revenue, reducing university costs, supporting financial assistance, managing student receivables, teambuilding, and improving campus communications. The eleven flying sea hawks represent each staff member of Student Accounts soaring into new solutions and innovations; these are captured in the clouds. The clouds contain the improvements and successes achieved by our team; E-billing, E-refunds, E-payments, the in-house TealPay tuition payment plan, Travelex international payments, electronic deposit transmittals, online tutorials, online communications and monthly E-newsletters, ImageNow collections workflow process, Perkins $1,000,000 goal, and the newly created SACO Student Scholarship.

Students are the lifeblood of the University and the “Get to Know PHIL” program helps students understand the impact philanthropy has on our campus. Location: Airlie Commons 350 |
