The Shared Governance Digital Badge recognizes learners’ active engagement in fostering a collaborative and informed academic community. This credential is earned through attendance at a session hosted by the Provost and Vice President for Research and Economic Development, completion of the Chesapeake 101 Sample Course, and submission of a follow-up survey. Together, these components demonstrate learners’ commitment to understanding institutional processes, contributing meaningful input, and supporting a culture of shared responsibility. This badge not only showcases learners’ achievement in shared governance but also helps establish a foundation for ongoing dialogue and continuous improvement across the university.
