Drawing on an administrative perspective, this session details the strategic steps taken to launch a scaffolded information literacy program for all incoming students. We share how a pilot with a few incoming students transitioned into a required component of Ball State's Week of Welcome and inclusion in First-Year Seminars. Learn the leadership strategies, including leveraging the administrative support required to secure cross-campus buy-in and institutionalize an essential instruction initiative.
Participants will: 1. Gain knowledge of leadership and advocacy strategies that enable institutional buy-in from a variety of stakeholders 2. Learn how to link scaffolded instructional programs to key strategic goals of the university 3. Understand best practices for cross-campus collaboration to institutionalize and sustain essential instruction initiatives
