New Organizational Unit Announcement

[Regan Ashline]

Per the College’s Organizational Unit Name or Formation Policy, this
notification introduces the *Center for Instructional and Program
Innovation (IPI)*. The IPI Center is designed to bring together
instructional technology support, faculty development, accessibility
guidance, and online course and program support under a single, coordinated
umbrella.

IPI was established to make it easier for faculty and departments to
navigate the growing landscape of digital teaching tools, accessibility
expectations, and online program and course design needs. By aligning
services that already support teaching and learning, IPI will provide a
clearer point of contact, more consistent guidance, and stronger
coordination across instructional initiatives.

The creation of the *Center for Instructional and Program Innovation* also
reflects the institution’s commitment to inclusive and accessible learning
environments, particularly as we work toward meeting federal ADA Title II
requirements for electronic instructional materials.

Most importantly, IPI exists to *support faculty work*—whether that
involves improving course accessibility, experimenting with new pedagogical
approaches, navigating instructional technologies, or improving existing
and developing new online and hybrid courses and programs.

For more information about IPI's services, please reach out to Dr. John
Locke, Director, jlock004 at plattsburgh.edu.
