CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Board of Trustees February 8, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – Extended Learning and Outreach

Extended Learning and Outreach is comprised of University Centers, Instructional Sites, Online Learning, Continuing Education, Running Start, Multimodal Learning, Distance Education, Multimodal Learning Center, and Dual Admission.

CWU University Centers and Instructional Sites include:

• CWU-Des Moines • CWU-Lynnwood • CWU-Moses Lake • CWU-Pierce • CWU-Wenatchee • CWU-Yakima • CWU-Sammamish • CWU-Joint Base Lewis-McChord

CWU’s newest instructional site is located in Sammamish and opened on September 20, 2017. CWU- Sammamish is an instructional site that provides general education undergraduate classes available to the public, including high school students. Continuing Education programs are also offered at the instructional site. These programs provide lifelong learning opportunities, education, and professional development programs. CWU has a need to position itself to attract and serve transfer students in a high-quality manner. Currently, we have approximately 4400 transfer students in Ellensburg, University Centers, and online. We serve approximately 1700 majors through the University Centers. Additionally, we have nearly 1000 students enrolled in online undergraduate programs. Over the fall 2017 quarter, we designed and pursued a University-wide collaborative approach engaging stakeholders across the campus and University Centers. Actively engaged stakeholders include, but are not limited to, University Center faculty and staff, Ellensburg faculty and staff, representatives of Student Services, Enrollment Management, Public Affairs, Alumni, and International Studies. On February 8, we will review the strategic activities underway within Extended Learning and Outreach to reach and serve transfer students. Most specifically, we will discuss our collaborative approach for recruiting and serving the transfer student population, as well as the growth strategies and tactics underway across CWU.
