Or both? -- The Student Services Director is a third party employee who reports to the Managing Director; the student advisors report to him. The third party has an academic affairs unit that serves as a collaborating entity; academic staff do not report to them.]]> 2019-03-15 14:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/TESOL/wish/341765151 https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/TESOL/wish/341765947 With the 92% progression rates you mentioned, are those calculated only after they’re fully matriculated undergrads or do those include the first year in the pathway program? -- 92% of students who should have completed the program have done so; 8% did not successfully complete their program. ]]> 2019-03-15 14:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/TESOL/wish/341765947 https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/TESOL/wish/341772204 Are you faculty at UD and does that help with credibility on your campus when presenting to chairs and faculty groups? - I am faculty with an administrative appointment.

Tuition? Grants? Charitable contributions? All of the above? If all of the above, what's the percentage of each? - Tuition only. Some of our programs are study abroad programs for international universities so the universities pay the tuition to us not the student directly. We also offer tuition scholarships to a few select local ESL learners.]]> 2019-03-15 14:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/TESOL/wish/341786406 https://padlet.com/rai_farrelly/TESOL/wish/341793058 You mentioned that teachers are selected by Georgetown but I’m assuming they’re paid by the program.
