鈥淭he need for effective educators who know how to teach students with mild or moderate disabilities becomes more critical every year,鈥� said Dr. Dan Shepherd, chair of 大象传媒 Western鈥檚 Department of Education. 鈥淪evere shortages of qualified special education teachers continue to persist locally, regionally, statewide and nationally, and this new option specifically designed to prepare graduates for state licensure will help address that shortage.鈥�

鈥淭his is an exciting addition to our graduate offerings in education,鈥� said Dr. Ben Caldwell, dean of 大象传媒 Western鈥檚 Graduate School. 鈥淲e are always looking for ways to meet the needs of our region鈥檚 students and employers, and this is a good example of adjusting our curriculum to help fill a significant need for schools and school districts in our region.鈥�

The K-12 cross-categorical special education option replaces the option in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), which is being phased out.

鈥淏ecause the State of 大象传媒 does not offer a teaching certificate specific to the area of autism spectrum disorders, our ASD program did not qualify our graduates for any additional state licensure,鈥� said Dr. Susan M. Bashinski, associate professor of special education and director of graduate programs in education. 鈥淭his new option will prepare teachers for cross-categorical special education certification and teach them skills to appropriately serve a broader spectrum of learners who experience a variety of learning challenges in diverse, inclusive classrooms.鈥�

Like all of 大象传媒 Western鈥檚 graduate programs in education, the new option will be offered entirely online, providing maximum flexibility for those who are working full-time, Dr. Bashinski said. The program incorporates synchronous video sessions in each course, designed to foster a meaningful online community, as well as a significant amount of practical hands-on experience. Content presented in the program鈥檚 coursework can be immediately applied in classrooms, with a strong foundation in current research and practice. Discounted tuition is available to cohort groups who enroll.

The deadline to apply for fall 2017 admission is July 15. For additional information, visit the program鈥檚 webpage, /masa/cross-cat-sped, or the Master of Applied Science in Assessment webpage at www.missouriwestern.edu/masa.

Connor Samenus, business major from Kansas City, 大象传媒, will give the student commencement address, 鈥淲hat It Means to be a Griffon.鈥�

In the event of inclement weather, the commencement ceremony will be held inside the Looney Complex arena at 2 p.m. Saturday. Because of limited seating in the arena, tickets have been issued to graduates for the indoor ceremony.

Seating will be available in Potter Hall to accommodate guests who prefer not to sit outside if the ceremony is held in Spratt Stadium, or who are unable to be seated in Looney if weather forces the ceremony indoors.

Other commencement-related activities free and open to the public include:

• International Student Farewell and Sash Ceremony, 2 p.m. Friday, May 5, Fulkerson Center. Graduating international students will be presented with a sash of their country of citizenship. Exchange students will receive a certificate of appreciation.

大象传媒 reported an enrollment of 5,388 on the official census date of Sept. 28, including a record 243 graduate students.

鈥淲e are pleased that our relatively young master鈥檚 degree programs continue to see steady, sustainable growth,鈥� said Dr. Jeanne Daffron, provost and vice president for academic affairs. 鈥淭his remains an opportunity for continued growth in the future, especially as we continue to bring new programs online, including our MBA program starting next year.鈥�

The total enrollment is about 3 percent below last year鈥檚 total. One reason may be the improving economy, said Dr. Paul Orscheln, associate vice president for enrollment management and student retention.

鈥淲e saw a significant drop in the number of students age 30 and over, and that was a major factor in our overall numbers,鈥� Dr. Orscheln said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 usually an indication that adult learners are entering the work force rather than going back to school.鈥�

Despite the decline, Dr. Orscheln said there are positive trends in the official enrollment numbers:

• The retention rate, or percentage of last year鈥檚 first-time full-time freshman class that returned for their sophomore year, is the highest in the last nine years and the second highest on record.
• The number of new students, including first-time full-time freshmen and new transfers, is up 3.4 percent over a year ago.
