Affordable Learning @ Seattle University

Affordable Learning @ Seattle University

We are pleased to present this resource page for the Affordable Learning @ Seattle University Initiative. These resource pages provide guidance for how we will engage multiple internal stakeholder in support of Affordable Learning @ Seattle University. This resource is intended as a living document that we can revisit as we review the results of our capacity building, advocacy, outreach, and education, and refine our engagement strategy. Think of it as a roadmap for the work ahead for the next 2 ½ years, guiding our work through the remainder of the Reigniting Our Strategic Directions process and putting in place structures to address course material affordability into the future.
