Educating Your Campus
New initiative Explosive growth Rededicating resources/selling

Faculty Buy-In What’s in it for the faculty? Does the program have academic integrity? Will the faculty see better students in their
future campus based classes when CEP students graduate high school?
Will it hurt their credit offerings on campus? Top Down Implementation or Bottom

both ways.
Budget Started with no budget and implemented
