Email from Liz Hollerman to All Faculty: 1/23/2025
Dear Bellevue College Faculty,
Thank you for the thoughtful engagement and feedback following our recent communication about Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs). As we continue this important work, I want to take a moment to recognize the many individuals who have contributed to the evolution of ILOs and invite others to join us in shaping this foundational effort.
Recognizing Our Current Leads
The ongoing success of the ILO initiative is made possible by the incredible work of our current leads, who are guiding this effort with dedication and expertise. Their leadership is instrumental in shaping the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) for each ILO and ensuring progress continues:
| Alice Jenkins | Elena Maans-Lorincz | Pete Ophoven |
| Anthony Tessandori | Michelle Schewe | Russ Payne |
| Christina Sciabarra | Natalie Martínez | Stephanie Hurst |
Honoring Past Leads
This initiative is built on the strong foundation laid by those who have contributed over the past two years. Their efforts have been essential in getting us to where we are today, and we deeply appreciate their time, energy, and insights:
| Andria Villines | Fatma Serce | Jennie Mayer | Lindsay Haney |
| Ann Minks | Grady Blacken | Jennifer Lê | Lisa Harris |
| Brian Casserly | Gwyneth Jones | Jeremiah Allen | Megan Kimball |
| Caleb Teel | Hannah Weitz | Joseph Hueffed | Rebecca Cory |
| Chace Stiehl | Harlan Lee | Karen Diller | Robert Viens |
| Corey Goelz | Humaira Jackson | Katherine Oleson | Sunmi Ku |
| Erika Ferreri | Irene Shaver | Li Liu | Zach Morgan |
Why This Work Matters
The ILO initiative is about more than meeting accreditation standards—it’s about defining the core skills, knowledge, and abilities that every Bellevue College student should gain through their education. This work helps us ensure a consistent, high-quality learning experience that prepares our students for success in their academic, professional, and personal lives. More information will be coming soon where you can also join us in shaping this work. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected Bellevue College.
