Join the Project GASPE Team
Mary Lee Donahue, Department of Writing Arts
donahue@rowan.edu; 856-256-3459
Mary Lee Donahue, Department of Writing Arts, is seeking interested faculty, staff, librarians, and
administrators to join the Project GASPE team. The General Academic Skills Proficiency Examination
(GASPE) is an instrument to measure student achievement among rising juniors in the five banks of
general education at Rowan and, ultimately, colleges and universities elsewhere as well. Now in its 20th
year of research and development at Rowan / Glassboro, the instrument is once again scheduled for two
rounds of pilot testing in 2008. The team would welcome assistance in Spring 08 to finalize and evaluate
current versions of the instrument, as well as assistance in administering and assessing the large-scale
pilot planned for Fall 08.
Faculty and administrators overseeing juniors or rising juniors in any College are especially needed. For
more info., please contact donahue@rowan.edu or x. 3459.
