The Task Force on General Education Curriculum (TFGEC) comprises three teams and six research and reporting groups. Together, we review best practices, read relevant literature, and craft recommendations
to create a new general education curriculum.
We are all part of the Task Force on General Education Curriculum. Contact us via
email if you would like to take part or if you have any questions: TFGEC@CalLutheran.edu.
Teams
The charge of the task force is comprehensive and has been divided into teams to tackle
each of the strategic components of the general education curriculum. All the members
of the task force have been collaborating with the campus community, faculty members,
staff members, parents, and prospective students through the design, implementation
and assessment of the new general education curriculum.
