Continuing Education Instructor Marne Foster received the Promising Outcomes Work and Exemplary Research (P.O.W.E.R.) Award for “The best example of excellent outcomes assessment in the noncredit area”.
Marne was honored because under her leadership, CE moved from institutional SLOs, to program and course level SLOs in less than one year–something that typically takes 2-3 years to accomplish!
 
Marne received the award in San Francisco as a part of the 2009 Strengthening Student Success Conference, and credits San Diego Continuing Education faculty and staff for their hard work and dedication to Student Learning Outcomes.
