The Second Planning Day

A second planning day is scheduled for the new honours program. It is open to any interested participants from within the school. An email invite was distributed from the Dean’s office:

The honours working party (convened after the first honours planning day in February) would like to invite all interested School staff to participate in a second honours planning day.

When: 10 am to 4pm on Wednesday July 14
Where: somewhere in building 9 (room to be confirmed once we know likely numbers)
What: lunch will be provided
Next: if you would like to participate please RSVP your interest to Adrian Miles (adrian.miles@rmit.edu.au) by July 7

The aim of the day is to get feedback and contributions to defining the ambitions and aims for the new, school wide honours program that is scheduled for launch in 2012.

• What sorts of things should the graduate attributes be? Why?
• What opportunities should it provide for graduates?
• What would be the research vision for an honours program? Why?
• How do we develop and define an honours lab or studio?
• What sorts of interdisciplinary and collaborative projects should it enable? How?

What sorts of things do we need to know about, now, to let honours be relevant and useful to you and your students as we write program guides, develop the curriculum and all the rest of it?

An agenda for the day will be available shortly.

Once again, if you would like more details, or to participate, please contact Adrian Miles (adrian.miles@rmit.edu.au)
