Ellen Goldey has been a long-term leader in the SENCER program, beginning with her enthusiastic participation in our first Summer Institute and continuing though her subsequent distinguished service as a senior associate and core faculty member at Institutes and SENCER meetings.  Ellen has done important, path-breaking work using a learning community platform to foster deeper learning in the sciences and connected learning to liberal arts disciplines.  Her interest in improving learning has led to a new focus in her work on assessment.

As a SENCER Leadership Fellow, Ellen plans to work to support the expansion of SENCER courses at Wofford and to assist peers, on a regional and national basis, in developing more effective assessment strategies designed to enhance achievement and deepen learning.

Ellen was elected to the inaugural class of Leadership Fellows in July 2008.
