Departmental Change: Sustaining Impacts
Target Audience: Tenured/Tenure-track Faculty, Non-tenure Track Faculty, College/University Staff, Institution Administration
The Departmental Action Team (DAT) Project supports departments as they make changes to their undergraduate programs.

In about 70% of cases, departments that host DATs continue to catalyze change after external DAT facilitation ends, and sometimes even after the DAT itself ends. In this final post, we explore several ways DATs catalyze sustained impacts. More
