Building presence via pedagogy: Creating an academic framework for student success

Joyce Ogden, Vice President of Academic Affairs + Rounsavall Dean at the Kentucky College of Art + Design (KyCAD), joined the Kentucky School of Art (KSA) upon its founding in 2009. As KyCAD made its debut as an independent, private, nonprofit, four-year art college in Louisville in 2017, Ogden became owner of the institution’s academic vision and curriculum. During her presentation, Ogden will discuss her role as primary producer and editor for the BFA in Studio Art course catalog, mapping the foundation core, studio electives, and capstone series. As well, she will describe establishing a framework for the student cohort model and shaping the KyCAD Centers of Inquiry, program staples that offer conceptual themes for student emphasis.
