Dr. Janney was presented the award at the 50th Annual NSEE Conference in Orlando, Florida last week. With thirty years in higher education, Dr. Janney oversees the strategic planning for graduate and online programs, instructional technology, and career and internship services. In Janney’s previous role as Associate Dean of Experiential Education, she created the Strategic Plan for Excellence in Experiential Education, which would become the foundation for the Higher Learning Commission Quality Improvement Plan. The Quality Improvement Plan was accomplished including creation and implementation of an assessment plan for experiential education and the launch of the NSEE’s Experiential Education Academy (EEA) on C-SC’s campus with over 70% of the faculty trained. The Quality Improvement Plan included the establishment of an Experiential Learning Center, and in the fall of 2021, the Innovation, Design and Experiential Activities (IDEA) Center will open to provide a venue for experiential learning. In 2017, Dr. Janney completed the NSEE’s (EEA) and became a member of the EEA faculty. In 2019, Janney became a member of the EEA Curriculum Committee and taught the Best Practices in Internships workshop at the 2019 conference. In 2020 and 2021, she produced the online offering of Legal Issues in Experiential Education workshop and assisted with the creation of the Producer’s Facilitation guide. She re-designed and presented the online offering of the Principles of Ethical & Best Practice workshop in 2021.
