The Office and Grants and Program Review would like to recognize the
Political Science Department for working diligently this year in preparing
for its academic program review and external site visit.

The external reviewer highlighted numerous strengths of the department in
her report, including the rigorous assessment process and collaborative
planning among "a gifted, dedicated group of faculty" in preparing the
self-study report.  In addition, she noted the faculty's extraordinary
dedication to teaching, to maintaining positive interactions with students
and one another, to their scholarship, and to service within the University
and surrounding community.  The reviewer received excellent feedback from
students in the department, who remain impressed with the faculty's
expertise and the personal approach faculty take with students both in and
outside the classroom.  Such an approach enhances learning for students at
UTC and reflects the dedication of political science faculty.

Congratulations to the Political Science for a very productive and
rewarding review, as well as for maintaining a spirit of teaching
excellence at UTC.
