Collegewide Learning Outcomes were published in 2015 based on a campus-wide engagement process. They specify learning competency in intercultural competence, civic engagement, and well-being (including the well-being of the wider world, which is where the sustainability learning outcomes are covered). See: http://www.keene.edu/academics/liberal-arts/outcomes/. Sustainability Learning Outcomes also are covered by our Integrative Studies Program requirements for each student: http://www.keene.edu/academics/isp/students/. As a result of the Collegewide Learning Outcomes, each Division is (or already has) developed specific Learning Outcomes to meet the objectives of the CWLO.
