The GEPRAHC has been working since Fall 2023 on gathering information and feedback related to General Education from the OU committee, as well as other external sources. It has worked on studying and learning about General Education best practices. The document below includes a live running list of committee activities and is continuously being updated. Please feel free to peruse it to learn about the committee's work.
