Poster presentation from the Living the Future 7 Conference, April 30-May 3, 2008, University of Arizona Libraries, Tucson, AZ. / Creating opportunities to share student learning and assessment resources with faculty can be a daunting challenge. At Northern Arizona University (NAU) in Flagstaff, the leaders representing six different service units and committees united to create a flexible outreach session for academic units on campus. Here we share our collaborative approach to "unite and conquer," combining the human, technical, and financial resources of six service units and institutional committees to produce an informative outreach program for some 1,100 full- and part-time faculty members. Participating units included Cline Library, E-Learning Center, Office of Academic Assessment (OAA), Faculty Development, the University Assessment Committee, and the Liberal Studies Committee. During our "pilot" year, we visited 23 academic units and some 290 faculty members at faculty meetings. We experienced significant improvements overall with our approach and presentations between the fall and spring semesters. Our poster informs viewers of our organizational strategy, followed by an overview of successes, challenges, lessons learned, and future plans. We view this outreach effort as a pilot-project success story, looking forward to reviving the collaborative outreach sessions during 2008-2009.
