Stephen F. Austin State University to announce new academic partnership
2 p.m. Oct. 29 Baker Pattillo Student Center, Twilight Ballroom

 

SFA President Scott Gordon will welcome John Sharp, chancellor of the Texas A&M University System, to Nacogdoches tomorrow to announce details of a new program-specific partnership with the RELLIS Academic Alliance. Through the partnership, SFA’s James I. Perkins College of Education will offer completer courses for the Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in EC-6 to Bryan/College Station-area students on the RELLIS Campus in Bryan.

 

Founded in 2016 by the Texas A&M University System, the RELLIS Campus fosters cutting-edge research, technology development, workforce training and two- and four-year college degrees by tapping the system’s state agencies and multiple universities, along with academic, corporate and government partners. SFA is the first university outside the system to be invited to offer courses on the campus.

 

In accordance with COVID-19 social distancing guidelines and for the safety of all involved, only authorized participants are allowed in the ballroom. A livestream of the meeting will be available through SFA’s YouTube page. Masks are required in the Student Center and in all SFA facilities.

 

After the in-person event concludes, SFA’s BSIS EC-6 program directors will host a virtual presentation and Q&A live on SFA’s Facebook page followed by a similar live Q&A at 4 p.m. on SFA’s Instagram.

 

If you plan to attend this event, please let me know so we may ensure safe social distancing can be maintained.
