Debra Matthews; Derrilyn Morrison; Don Brown; Kimberly Pickens The LEAP States Initiative on our campus is very much aligned with the university’s strategic plan, which includes an institutional initiative to “adopt the AAC&U Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP) for undergraduate education.” To advance the initiative, we developed a plan with an emphasis on three specific measures: Increase Campus Awareness, Signature Work Pilots, and Professional Development Opportunities. Our presentation will review actions that have been taken in support of each of the three measures during the past year and the next steps in our ongoing efforts to advance LEAP and align it with our mission and core values. Participants will leave this session with an understanding of our plan and materials that may be modified for use on their campuses. The intended audience for this session includes LEAP institutions, as well as those thinking about becoming a LEAP institution.
