Subject: Program Learning Outcomes for AIMS

We will discuss these learning outcomes at our faculty meeting tomorrow. If you can't be there, please send comments by email. We really need to get down to five, according to Cecelia Shore. Think about which two you would cut and/or combine with others.
Thanks,
Peg
