Trustees hear academic-programs briefing on retention, AI guidance and accelerated master's options
Summary
Senior Vice Provost Alix Gitelman and colleagues briefed trustees on efforts to boost six‑year graduation rates, close equity gaps, provide faculty guidance on AI in courses, launch a multilingual student chatbot and introduce an Accelerated Masters Platform for dual-credit progress toward graduate degrees.
Senior Vice Provost Alix Gitelman, Dean Steph Bernell and Associate Vice Provost Steve Wuhs presented a briefing on academic programs spanning Corvallis, OSU–Cascades and Ecampus. Gitelman said leaders are focused on improving six‑year graduation rates and addressing equity gaps between Pell-eligible and non-Pell students. Bernell described evolution in graduate education; Wuhs outlined Student Affairs initiatives including a multilingual text-based chatbot launching in the spring term to help students find resources.
The minutes record the launch of an Accelerated Masters Platform intended to let undergraduates earn dual credits and begin graduate work earlier. Trustees asked for further information about graduate enrollment trends and the mix of graduate student types in a future report.
