Introducing PQIP, the Successor to PRESS

jimluke — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 22:03:47 +0000

At LCC Professional Development days for all full-time faculty on Jan 12-13, I will be introducing the new PQIP, the Program Quality Improvement Process. PQIP is the successor to PRESS, Program Review and Evaluation Self Study. The new PQIP process is still a work-under-development, but it’s ready for expanded faculty input. PQIP and the new LCC360 Data Dashboard will be the primary focus of the day and a half PD days. I’ll post the link to the presentations soon.

Global Perspectives Conference, 31March2009

jimluke — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 21:09:43 +0000

I am presenting at:

Does the West Still Know Best? How Will the Global Economic
Crisis of 2008-09 Affect International Aid and Development
Programs?
TLC 127 5:30pm-7pm
Western developed nations, led by the U.S., have pushed a globalized free-market economic model on developing nations. The IMF and World Bank have often conditioned financial aid packages on implementation of “free-market reforms”. But in 2008, the developed nations themselves experienced an unprecedented economic crisis in banking and other markets. In this presentation, Jim Luke will discuss the implications of the 2008-09 global economic crisis and the need for bank bail-outs on future aid to developing nations.
