Learning Outcomes
These college outcomes are the learning goals for all Cascadia students, faculty, administrators and staff. When practiced as lifelong learning habits, they encourage personal growth, enhance productive citizenship, and foster individual and cooperative learning. As they are assessed inside and outside the classroom, these outcomes guide learning, decision-making and actions by all members of the college community.
Cascadia student Ginny Higgins came up with the concept for the Learning Outcomes Logo.
