Charles Worley, vice chair of the board, recom- mended the name change in recognition of a diverse department that has come together and that is doing a great job.

It is precisely this approach that has enabled the CFC to have a significant impact on enhancing faculty teaching and student learning via the use and integration of both pedagogy and technol- ogy, Fowler said. technology to, A spring survey of WCU faculty conducted by the center revealed that 78 per- cent of respondents said they changed at least one of their academic practices as a result of their work with the center. Several WCU faculty mem- bers who have collaborated with the Coulter Faculty Center in recent months said the national recognition is well-deserved. IT have worked on a va- riety of student engagement exercises in Second Life, a virtual simulation environ- ment, and received excellent assistance from a number of the Coulter Faculty Center staff, said Carlie Merritt, director of WCUs online programs in criminal justice, and emergency and disaster management. Without the assistance of the CFC staff, -I would not have been suc- cessful in creating these ex- ercises.
