I. INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAM

I.A. Program Mission Statement

Primatology is the study of the biology, evolution, biogeography, ecology, taxonomic

classification, and behavior of nonhuman primates (prosimains, monkeys, and apes). The

Primate Behavior and Ecology (PBE) undergraduate program at Central Washington

University provides students with interdisciplinary perspectives on the relationships

between nonhuman primates (both captive and free-living) and their environments. The

program is unique in the United States and is complemented by organized, faculty-

mentored research and training efforts that take place both on and off campus and may

occur in international settings. The PBE degree prepares students for graduate programs

in anthropology, biology, and psychology (in general) and primate behavior, behavioral

ecology, animal behavior, and related fields (in particular); for conservation careers in

governmental and nongovernmental organizations; or for careers working with

nonhuman primates living in laboratories, zoos, sanctuaries, or other captive facilities.

I.B. Brief Description of Program Contexts

The PBE degree is located in interdisciplinary programs in the College of the

Sciences. PBE is a dual-degree program in which the primatology BS is matched with a

BA or BS in psychology, anthropology, or biology. Careful integration of courses across

curricula and effective, early advisement ensures that PBE students earn both degrees on

a four-year schedule. Students complete substantial numbers of credits in anthropology,

biology, and psychology, which enables students to not infrequently minor in a third

program (for example, major in biology and PBE and minor in anthropology) or major in

three programs (for example, psychology, anthropology, and PBE). Four program faculty

are primatologists: Megan Matheson (psychology), Roger Fouts (Co-Director of the

Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute), Mary Lee Jensvold (Assistant

Director of the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute), and Lori Sheeran

(anthropology). Program faculty also include four biologists whose academic expertise

focuses on animal behavior, mammalogy, herpetology conservation, and genetics (Steve

Wagner, Kris Ernest, Dan Beck, and Lixing Sun). Program-mandated research

experiences occur through students working with professors one-on-one, through Study

Abroad programs (for example, a biodiversity field school in China), at the Chimpanzee

and Human Communication Institute, or through student-initiated, faculty-mentored

internships (for example, at zoos or sanctuaries). Many of these research experiences

result in professional presentations and publications for both students and faculty.

In 2007, PBE program faculty completed a proposal to create an MS degree in

Primate Behavior at Central. This graduate degree is planned to begin in fall 2008 and

will benefit from research and curriculum opportunities already in place for the

undergraduate program. In addition, several new courses will be proposed and one new

faculty position is being requested in conjunction with the proposal. Unlike the current

program faculty, the new person will be assigned half-time to the PBE program.

I.C. List Program Goals

Goal 1: Develop a primatology program of unparalleled national prominence, with

strengthened extramural support for program initiatives, teaching, research, and faculty

professional development.

vi

Goal 2: Orient PBE students to the evolutionary, taxonomic, ecological, behavioral,

and genetic diversity of the species classified in the order Primates.

Goal 3: Students will be able to conduct faculty-mentored scientific research.

Goal 4: Students will be able to synthesize interdisciplinary concepts related to

primatology.

Goal 5: PBE students will value biodiversity.

I.C.1. Identify and describe major activities that will enable goals to be

reached

Please refer to the Appendix for the complete program assessment plan and student

learner outcomes (both referred to below).

Goal 1 Activities: PBE program faculty a) keep abreast of the latest developments in

competing primatology programs (primarily the responsibility of the program director);

b) regularly communicate with each other regarding curriculum changes and research

experiences for students; c) meet regularly (usually 2 or 3 times each quarter) to discuss

issues relating to the program; d) communicate regularly via email; e) work

collaboratively to set the vision for the program (for example, in developing the program

charter in 2006); f) developed an alumni survey; and g) discuss other forms of feedback

provided from alumni (for example, students’ job placement and research experiences).

Through continued self reflection on the PBE program by program faculty, development

of measurable program and course assessment methods, consideration of feedback

provided by alumni, and active participation in the program by the PBE advisory

committee members (see section I.D. for governance structure), we strive to create a

program the provides outstanding research and teaching opportunities for faculty and

students. Over the next several years, we plan to continue these activities, and to increase

our applications for extramural support of the program. We also plan to strengthen

interdisciplinary collaborations, including publications and submission of grant

proposals, among faculty and students.

Goal 2 Activities: This goal focuses on the content-specific nature of the program,

and how well students master basic concepts presented in the curriculum. Over the next

several years, we will be measuring how well we are achieving academic benchmarks

using student learner outcomes and an assessment plan. Student learner outcomes are

provided in the Appendix.

Goal 3 Activities: With this goal, we endeavor to teach PBE students skills needed to

conduct research focused on primates and to demonstrate how these skills can be

extended to other species. This goal is linked to students’ job prospects and advanced

degree opportunities. The program currently provides a wealth of research opportunities

that have resulted in professional presentations at Central’s annual Symposium on

University Research and Creative Expression and at other venues, as well as co-authored

publications. Research experiences take place at the Chimpanzee and Human

Communication Institute (Pongid Behavior [ANTH 416]), through the summer field

school in China (Design and Analysis for Observational Field Research [PSY 498],

Anthropological Field Experience [ANTH 493], and Field Practicum [BIOL 493]),

through other field schools offered in biology, and through student-initiated internships.

PBE students are required to complete at least one independent research experience as

well as the research that occurs in classes (for example, research is conducted in General

Ecology [BIOL 360] and Research Methods [PSY 300]). Course-embedded research

viii

projects typically focus on species other than primates. During the next several years, we

plan to continue to develop research opportunities for faculty and students, and to

strengthen intramural and extramural support for these activities.

The PBE curriculum is designed to expose students to in-depth study of nonhuman

primates, and several courses directly address this topic, including Primate Social

Behavior (ANTH 313), Primate Evolution (ANTH 418), Pongid Behavior (ANTH 416),

Long Term Primate Studies (ANTH 412), and Evolutionary Psychology (PSY 442).

Through research experiences, students can work with a variety of nonhuman primates

(Tibetan macaques, chimpanzees, or very diverse zoo or sanctuary collections that may

include other animals besides primates). Thus, in addition to working with animals

outside the order Primates, PBE students also have opportunities to study a variety of

nonhuman primates, including our closest living relative, the chimpanzee. Over the next

several years, we plan to increase internship opportunities for PBE students, which will

ensure students access to a wide variety of experiences in animal caregiving..

Goal 4 Activities: This goal entails providing a depth of experience in primatology

while retaining connections to theories in anthropology, biology, and psychology. This

occurs throughout the PBE curriculum, particularly in courses such as General Ecology

(BIOL 360), Animal Behavior (BIOL 465), Primate Social Behavior (ANTH 313), and

Evolutionary Psychology (PSY 442), among others. Overarching themes that may be

specifically directed to the study of nonhuman primates but are much broader in their

application include principles of ecology, evolutionary theory, comparative anatomy, and

cognitive theory. During the next several years, we will be updating the PBE curriculum

to reflect changing faculty interests and to accommodate changes in biology’s 100-level

curriculum. We will also be reconsidering undergraduate offerings in light of the

proposed Primate Behavior MS—many students applying for the graduate program will

likely be our undergraduates.

Goal 5 Activities: All students are required to complete one course at the Chimpanzee

and Human Communication Institute (Introduction to Primate Laboratory Procedures

[PRIM 220]), which exposes them to the unique philosophy of the facility in which the

priority is the needs of the chimpanzees. Faculty and staff of the Chimpanzee and Human

Communication Institute are famous for pioneering research on the well-being of captive

chimpanzees (for example, behavioral enrichment, techniques for caregivers to more

humanely and effectively interact with chimpanzees). PBE students also learn in this

class about state and federal laws regulating the housing of nonhuman primates and are

urged to consider the adequacy of these laws considering what is now known about

nonhuman primate biology and psychology. Additionally, they learn the level of

dedication, responsibility, and accountability required in animal husbandry. The summer

field school in China includes three, four-credit courses: Design and Analysis for

Observational Field Research (PSY 498), Anthropological Field Experience (ANTH

493), and Field Practicum (BIOL 493). These courses collectively provide opportunities

for students to conduct non-invasive behavioral research on free-living Tibetan

macaques, and the overarching field school theme focuses on the impacts of ecotourism

on monkeys’ well-being. Components of the field school courses address field safety and

ethical issues in international research. Students can also conduct advanced research at

the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (Lab Research, PRIM 320), which

entails more in-depth exposure to the unique psychological and biological needs of non-

x

human primates living in captivity as well as providing opportunities to conduct faculty-

mentored, non-invasive research using more than 25 years of archived data or live data

collection.

Nonhuman primates, like many other tropical species, are disappearing at an alarming

rate. Many recently developed graduate programs focus on primate conservation (for

example, Oxford Brookes and Roehampton, both in the U.K.), and this issue is featuring

more prominently in the curriculum and research experiences for undergraduates at

Central. Specific conservation-focused courses in the PBE program include: Pongid

Behavior (ANTH 416), General Ecology (BIOL 360), Primate Social Behavior (ANTH

313), Primate Conservation (ANTH 499), and Conservation Biology (BIOL 466), to

name a few. The plights of particular species are addressed in Introduction to Primate

Husbandry (PRIM 220) and the three courses comprising the China field school (ANTH

493, BIOL 493, and PSY 498). During the next several years, we will use our assessment

plan to measure the attitudes students bring to the program, and how these change over

the course of their time at Central.

I.C.2. Identify what data will be used to measure (assess) whether

goals are achieved

PBE faculty developed a program assessment plan in 2007, to begin implementing in

spring 2008 (see section II.H.). Each course in the program has student learner outcomes

specified in course syllabi; these will be matched to pedagogical goals identified for the

program as we proceed with assessment. Students’ responses on student evaluation of

instruction forms (SEOIs), particularly written comments, also provide information on

how well we are meeting course and program benchmarks, although currently these are

not systematically examined at a programmatic level. During summer 2007, we

implemented an alumni survey (administered through the university) that asked specific

questions about the program, how the graduate is using her or his education, and whether

skills acquired in the program, such as writing scientific reports, behavioral data

collection, and habitat assessment, are more generally applicable in the graduate’s current

work or academic setting.

Assessment is also a university-wide concern, and during 2007-8, PBE along with

other departments and programs participated in an assessment workshop. The College of

the Sciences offered an assessment workshop 9/6/07 to provide programs and

departments with assessment models and college and university educational goals. This

information was used to develop the current PBE assessment plan (included in the

Appendix).

I.D. Describe Program Governance System and Provide

Organizational Chart for Program

During winter quarter 2006, the PBE program and affiliate faculty completed a

charter to bring the program in alignment with college-wide interdisciplinary program

guidelines. This charter has been submitted to the dean of the College of the Sciences and

as of spring quarter 2007 is in the process of being formally approved by the dean and

provost. The charter defines program faculty as adjunct, tenured, or tenure-track Central

faculty members whose scholarship, instruction, or service activities are in areas that

support primatology, ecology, and/or behavior. The anthropology, psychology, and

biology departments must each be represented by at least one program faculty member.

The PBE director is a member of the program faculty and is elected by the members of

xii

the advisory committee. PBE affiliate faculty include the chairs of the departments of

anthropology, biology, and psychology and any non-faculty co-directors of the

Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute. The PBE advisory committee is

comprised of all program faculty, all affiliate faculty, the dean of the College of the

Sciences, and community members (the latter are appointed to the committee upon

approval of the program faculty; currently no community members serve on the advisory

committee). Members of the advisory committee are all eligible to vote on issues relating

to the PBE program, with the exception of the dean of the College of the Sciences. The

voting status of community members was not determined at the time the charter was

developed and should be considered when the charter is next revised. The PBE advisory

committee makes recommendations to the program director regarding curriculum,

mission and goals, charter, budgetary expenditures, and all other aspects of the program.

I.E. Describe How Each of the Relevant Strategic Goals for the

University and College are Being Promoted within the Program

The 2006-2011 CWU Strategic Plan lists six university-wide goals. University goals

and PBE contributions toward those are listed below. It should be noted that PBE faculty

have primary assignments in other departments (anthropology, biology, or psychology) or

entities (co-directors and assistant director of the Chimpanzee and Human

Communication Institute), so this list of impact is not comprehensive of everything PBE

faculty do or are engaged in.

Goal I: Maintain and strengthen an outstanding academic and student life on the

Ellensburg campus. PBE students are enriched by the opportunity to work with a

variety of faculty representing different disciplines and perspectives, sometimes in

the same course! Employers increasingly seek employees who can make

connections between different fields, speak to a diversity of audiences, and adopt

a variety of perspectives. The PBE program accomplishes these through the

students’ research opportunities and the formal curriculum. The program also

provides multiple opportunities for students to become activists on behalf of

nonhuman animals. The recently formed (winter 2006) Wildlife Conservation

Group has been active in organizing field trips (e.g., a trip to Pullman, WA to hear

a lecture by Dr. Jane Goodall) and in helping sponsor scholars visiting Central’s

campus (e.g., Dr. Birute Galdikas in March 2007). PBE students benefit from the

program’s connection to the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute,

and most students attend Chimposiums, which are lectures that describe the

ground-breaking research being conducted with chimpanzee Washoe and other

xiv

members of her family. Many PBE students also work as volunteers or docents at

the Institute, and program faculty and students are kept informed of events (such

as lectures) sponsored by the Institute. One program faculty member, Megan

Matheson, is the chair of the campus’ Institutional Animal Care and Use

Committee, which assists and facilitates all students’ research on nonhuman

animals. Two additional faculty (Lori Sheeran and Steve Wagner) are members of

this committee. Dr. Matheson also volunteers time to maintain the PBE program’s

webpage (http://www.cwu.edu/~primate/), which provides students with

information about advising and upcoming program events.

Goal II. Provide for an outstanding academic and student life at the university

centers. The PBE program currently does not offer courses or have program

components that take place at the university centers.

Goal III: Strengthen and further diversify our funding base and strengthen

infrastructure to support academic and student programs. PBE program faculty

have been very effective at forming collaborations that cross department

boundaries and result in enhanced researcher and publication opportunities for

program faculty and students. Five examples are detailed here: 1) Lori Sheeran

(anthropology) and Mary Lee Jensvold (assistant director of the Chimpanzee and

Human Communication Institute) were awarded a National Institutes of Health

Bridges to the Baccalaureate grant in 2006. This three-year grant is intended to

strengthen ties between Central and a partner institution (in this case, Yakima

Valley Community College) while increasing the numbers of underrepresented

ethnic minorities earning BS degrees in the sciences. The grant includes financial

support for students to attend job fairs and conduct research at the community

college—and most notably to participate in the summer apprentice program

hosted by the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute. The Bridges

grant will significantly enhance the diversity of the PBE program and of the

College of the Sciences. 2) Megan Matheson (psychology) and Steve Wagner

(biology) collaborated to submit a Research Experience for Undergraduates grant

to the National Science Foundation in support of the summer field school in

China; these same two professors were joined by Lori Sheeran (anthropology) to

write an Improvements in Facilities, Communications, and Equipment at

Biological Field Stations and Marine Laboratories grant submitted to the National

Science Foundation to build a field station in China. The former NSF grant is

being revised based on reviewer commentary and will be resubmitted during

summer 2007. 3) The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute regularly

hosts apprentices and, up until recently, Earthwatch volunteers whose presence

impacts the PBE program in two major ways. First, these individuals are often

recruited into the program as students. Second, these beginning researchers assist

more advanced student researchers on their projects. 4) The co- and assistant

directors of the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute, Roger and

Debbie Fouts and Mary Lee Jensvold, are frequently asked to provide information

to the broader community on the care and conservation of chimpanzees and other

primates. Their expert recommendations have included legal cases, advice on

enrichment, recommendations to federal and state governments on appropriate

housing of nonhuman primates, and keeper/ape interactions (Mary Lee Jensvold

xvi

was a visiting researcher in this latter regard at Zoo Northwest in Florida during

summer 2006). 5) Program faculty have successfully competed for intramural

grants including Study Abroad travel grants, SEED grants, and equipment grants

that enable the purchase of equipment and software and/or facilitate faculty and

student research. This past year, intramural and extramural support enabled the

purchase of The Observer software (for analysis of behavioral data), new

computers to house the software program, two video cameras, one still camera,

and a TV/VCR for the primate reading room.

Goal IV: Build mutually beneficial partnerships with the public sector, industry,

professional groups, institutions, and the communities surrounding our campuses.

Faculty have formed a number of partnerships that directly or indirectly enhance

the PBE program, and these vary in their scope. On an international level, Central

has a signed Memorandum of Understanding with Anhui University, enabling the

use of the field site in China for the Conservation and Biodiversity Field School.

PBE students conduct internships at Woodland Park Zoo and other zoos. Some

PBE faculty and students have professional associations that may include: Rocky

Mountain Psychological Association, Northwest Anthropological Association,

American Society of Primatologists, and the International Primatological Society;

students and faculty frequently present at annual meetings hosted by these

entities. The Bridges to the Baccalaureate grant awarded by the National Institutes

of Health (described in Goal III above) established a partnership between Yakima

Valley Community College and Central, and positively influences the transfer

ease and rates of all science students. Friends of Washoe (a 501c.3 agency) is

responsible for the care of the chimpanzees at the Chimpanzee and Human

Communication Institute and generously allows the educational opportunities that

occur there as part of the PBE program; additionally, the Institute is an important

venue for community outreach and often is where community members first hear

about the existence of the PBE program. At least three PBE professors, Mary Lee

Jensvold, Lori Sheeran, and Megan Matheson, have participated in the annual

Expanding Your Horizons event, which brings girls from nearby campuses to

Central to explore careers in the sciences.

Goal V: Achieve regional and national prominence for the university. The PBE

program is unique in North America and, as a consequence, attracts more

international and out-of-state students than appears to be typical of the campus as

a whole. Although primatologists are located within anthropology, psychology,

and biology departments across the United States, Central’s PBE program is

unique in: 1) offering a BS degree in primatology, 2) the amount of primate-

specific coursework, 3) the many opportunities for faculty-mentored research and

internships that focus on primates, 4) the program’s collaboration with the world-

famous Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute, which gives PBE

students faculty-mentored access to a family of chimpanzees living on the Central

campus, and 5) the program’s emphasis on humane, non-invasive behavioral

research. This latter point is in counter distinction to programs based at regional

primate centers and is often what initially attracts students to Central’s program.

Goal VI: Build inclusive and diverse campus communities that promote

intellectual inquiry and encourage civility, mutual respect, and cooperation. The

xviii

PBE program benefits from diversity recruitment that occurs through the National

Institutes of Health Bridges to the Baccalaureate grant (described in Goal III

above). As part of the grant, Mary Lee Jensvold and Lori Sheeran developed a

recruitment plan that targets underrepresented minorities enrolled at Yakima

Valley Community College. In fall quarter 2006 and spring quarter 2007, Dr.

Jensvold made presentations about the PBE undergraduate program in more than

12 psychology, biology, and anthropology courses at Yakima Valley Community

College; she also speaks at student groups (e.g., Tiin-Ma, a Native American

student group) and other programs (e.g., College Assistance Migrant Program)

based at the community college. Two Bridges students self-identified as Native

American and Hispanic are currently preparing to transfer to Central’s PBE

undergraduate program in 2008, with three more students starting the Bridges

grant preparatory program in fall 2007. The record of collaborative research, grant

writing, and publication described above enhances and strengthens the

relationships among the program faculty, and between faculty and students.

Finally, with its strong research and curriculum focus on local, regional, and global

conservation and ecology, the PBE program directly supports Central’s mission “…to

prepare students for responsible citizenship, responsible stewardship of the earth, and

enlightened and productive lives. Faculty, staff, students, and alumni serve as an

intellectual resource to assist central Washington, the state, and the region in solving

human and environmental problems.”

Outcomes for the Following:

II.B.1. General Education contributions

Not applicable. Although several of the courses included in the PBE core curriculum

are general education courses, these are perhaps more appropriately considered

contributions made by each of the departments associated with PBE (anthropology,

biology, and psychology). These courses serve many students in addition to PBE

students, and only a small percentage of the sections are taught by PBE program faculty.

In the tables and sections that follow, primary emphasis is placed on eight courses that

primarily serve PBE students. Occasional reference is made to other courses in the PBE

core or elective categories.

II.C. Describe Currency of Curricula in Discipline (How does the

curriculum compare to recognized standards promulgated by

professionals in the discipline?)

The United States’ professional association of primatologists, The American Society

of Primatologists, sponsors a comprehensive website that includes career and educational

advice for the budding primatologist. The Primate Info Network1 archives limited data on

where primatologists are employed, and posts available primatology positions along with

information on academic programs focused on primatology. At the 1999 Annual

American Society of Primatologists meeting, Sue Howell presented a snapshot of the

state of primatology through the 1990s. This appears to be the sole and most recent report

on the topic2. In the United States, the 686 employed primatologists included in the

survey worked primarily in university settings (45%, n=310), followed by regional

primate centers and private labs (19%, n=129), medical schools (6%, n=38), zoological

gardens (5%, n=34), government agencies (5%, n=33), and conservation/welfare/

rehabilitation centers (2%, n=12) (the remaining 130 employed primatologists worked in

widely varied fields with numbers totaling less than 12 for each field). At universities, the

majority of primatologists surveyed were located in anthropology departments (22%,

n=71), followed by psychology (19%, n=62), laboratories and animal research facilities

(19%, n=62), biology (5%, n=18), and comparative medicine (3%, n=10). The remaining

http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/edu/careers/howell.html

http://pin.primate.wisc.edu/


32% (n=105) of professional primatologists were widely distributed among disciplines,

but all appear to have a biomedical aspect (for example, ophthalmology: n=1, health

sciences: n=2). Survey results showed that female primatology students outnumbered

males 2:1, but at universities, labs, and government agencies, more men than women

occupied the highest positions. The reverse was true of primatologists working in

rehabilitation/welfare/conservation centers and zoological gardens, where women

predominated.

Central’s PBE program includes coursework drawn from the three disciplines where

most university-based primatologists work: anthropology, biology, and psychology.

Graduates of the PBE program learn to conduct collaborative and independent scientific

research, have non-invasive research and husbandry experiences with a wide variety of

captive species, and become skilled in field research techniques. These experiences will

prepare them to work in the wide variety of field, laboratory, and captive settings found

in the American Society of Primatologists survey, as well as preparing them for advanced

academic degree programs. Central’s PBE program features women in prominent

positions of authority, including the current director, the assistant director of CHCI, and

the lead professor of the summer field school in China. All the female (as well as the

male) program faculty are tenured. The majority of PBE undergraduate students are

women, and they currently have many prominently-placed women role models.3

The American Society of Primatologists survey results indicated that biomedical

primatology was the main area of discipline-based research through the 1990s, and

Central’s PBE program provides students with ample opportunities to practice husbandry,

enrichment, and safe interactions with captive nonhuman primates, making graduates

3 The survey did not address the issue of ethnic diversity in primatology.

23

well-qualified to conduct research or hold jobs based in laboratory facilities. Howell

described conservation fieldwork as the future of primatology, and today this focus

(perhaps) represents employment numbers far greater than what this 1990s survey would

suggest. Indirect evidence that this is the case includes the recent formation of two MS

programs devoted to primate conservation, one at Oxford Brookes University in UK, and

one at Roehampton University in UK. Conservation (of wildlife more generally and of

primates in particular) is a feature of the Central’s PBE program (Primate Conservation

[ANTH 499] and Conservation Biology [BIOL 466] are program electives), and three

program faculty, Kris Ernest, Steve Wagner, and Dan Beck, have expertise in

conservation biology and conservation genetics.

II.D. Effectiveness of Instruction

II.D.1. Effectiveness of instructional methods to produce student

learning based upon programmatic goals including innovative and

traditional methods

II.D.1.a. collaborative research between student and faculty. Collaboration between

students and faculty in research and creative expression is a hallmark of Central, and this

is particularly emphasized throughout the PBE program. Faculty-guided research projects

are developed by students enrolled in Laboratory Work in Primatology (PRIM 320) and

in the field school in China (ANTH 493, BIOL 493, and PSY 498). Additionally, students

are introduced to the research process and conduct smaller-scale research projects in

Introduction to Primate Laboratory Procedures (PRIM 220), Biology of Animal Behavior

(BIOL 465), General Ecology (BIOL 360), and Research Methods (PSY 300).

II.D.1.b. inquiry-based, open-ended learning. Students write research papers and/or

give in-class presentations on a topic of their choice in Long Term Primate Studies

(ANTH 412), Pongid Behavior (ANTH 416), Primate Evolution (ANTH 418),

Evolutionary Psychology (PSY 442), Research Methods (PSY 300), Biology of Animal

Behavior (BIOL 465), and some choice of research focus occurs in the courses described

in the section immediately above.

II.D.1.c. use of field experiences. The PBE program provides multiple opportunities

for students to have off-campus field experiences: the summer field school in China

(ANTH 493, BIOL 493, and PSY 498), Internships (ANTH, PSY, or BIOL 490; during

summer 2007, for example, one PBE student will work as an intern at the Buffalo Zoo in

New York, and students regularly conduct internships at the Woodland Park Zoo in

Seattle, WA), and other Study Abroad opportunities.

II.D.1.d. classic lectures. Primate Social Behavior (ANTH 313), Primate Evolution

(ANTH 418), Long Term Primate Studies (ANTH 412), Pongid Behavior (ANTH 416),

Evolutionary Psychology (ANTH 465), and Biology of Animal Behavior (BIOL 465) all

include lectures as the delivery mode of some or most of course content. Many of the

courses in the PBE core (some of which are also General Education courses) include

substantial amounts of the quarter devoted to lecture time.

II.D.1.e. lecture and inquiry-based guided discussions. Evolutionary Psychology

(PSY 442), Long Term Primate Studies (ANTH 412), and Pongid Behavior (ANTH 416)

all include professor-guided discussions. In all three courses, the professor provides

students with articles or text chapters to read and an associated list of questions to guide

in class discussion.

25

II.D.1.f. service learning or civic engagement. There are no structured service

learning or civic engagement opportunities currently built into the PBE curriculum.

However, students who choose to include internships in their curriculum perform

valuable service to zoos, sanctuaries, and other facilities (for example, in 2003, one

student was an unpaid intern at the Gibbon Conservation Center in Santa Clarita,

California). The Wildlife Conservation Group associated with the PBE program provides

one outlet for students interested in environmental activism. This group was formed by

students enrolled in Primate Conservation (ANTH 499) during winter quarter, 2006 as a

direct outgrowth of their concern over the plight of free-living nonhuman primates. The

Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute is an important educational source for

topics related to animal rights and conservation, particularly as these relate to

chimpanzees. Many PBE students are volunteers at the Institute.

II.D.2. Innovative instructional methods

Through two intramural grants and a grant from the National Institutes of Health,

Mary Lee Jensvold and Lori Sheeran recently purchased The Observer software to be

used by PBE students and faculty in conducting field work and in the PBE curriculum.

The Observer is a state-of-the-art professional software package for the collection,

analysis, and presentation of observational data. The program can be used to record

animals’ activities, postures, movements, positions, social interactions, or any other

aspect of their behavioral repertoire. The grants above facilitated the purchase of two new

computers to house the software, PDAs to enable the use of the program while off

campus, and two video cameras that can be used to collect data. The Observer will be

26


used in field and research PBE courses, and PBE students will be introduced to the

program in Primate Social Behavior (ANTH 313).

II.D.3. What evidence other than Student Evaluation of Instruction

(SEOI) is gathered and used in the program to evaluate the

effectiveness of instruction?

Assessment is an aspect of the PBE program that needs to be developed. While

SEOIs are gathered in most courses taught at Central, currently these are systematically

examined to ascertain teaching effectiveness as it relates to the program as a whole.

During spring quarter 2007 program faculty began considering assessment models (see

II.H below). PBE faculty developed a survey as part of a university-wide initiative to gain

a more comprehensive view of alumni capabilities and job prospects. The PBE alumni

survey was administered during summer 2007 and covered the years 2001-6; the survey

will be administered annually in future years. Some program faculty also keep track of

where alumni go upon graduating, but this is not systematically done. Because

primatology is a small field and our graduates retain strong emotional ties to faculty and

to the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute, we do know where a large

number of students are employed despite the lack of systematic measures.

II.D.4. Program teaching effectiveness—report a five-year history of

the teaching effectiveness program means as reported on SEOIs,

indexed to the university mean on a quarter-by-quarter basis

Students’ evaluation of instruction (SEOIs) are carried out each quarter in all

instructional classes. The following quarter, faculty are provided with copies of students’

27

written comments and a statistical summary of standardized questions for each course.

The table below summarizes the program’s average SEOI scores for question 29,

“Teaching Effectiveness”, for the past five years. We consistently exceed the campus

average.

(Institutional Research): “…The graduation efficiency index is something we report to

the state. But we cut this out of program review too for the same reasons--most of the

inefficiency occurs before students enter a major and small programs do not have enough

graduates to give us reliable data…”

The table below shows the number of students graduating with a BS degree in PBE.

The program requires students to choose a second major in biology, anthropology, or

psychology. Most students choose psychology as the companion degree.

II.F.3. Number of students with 125% or more of excess credits over

Not applicable, based on this email sent to Lori Sheeran by Mark Lundgren

(Institutional Research): “Initially, this measure was included in program reviews

because we have to report it to the state. Most of the ‘inefficiency’ in earned credit

generation occurs before students are in their majors. Thus, it is unclear what a

department should conclude from a poor score on this measure or what the department

could do about it. Also, only the largest departments have a sufficient number of

graduates to produce a stable measure. Therefore, we decided not to use this information

for departmental reviews.”

Introduction to Primate Husbandry (PRIM 220) is the only lower division class

offered in the PBE program. The other courses in the table below are upper division ones

that primarily serve PBE students (see list of courses provided in II.B.1. above). The

program does not currently offer graduate courses. The average class size for the seven

upper division courses is 16.5 students; the average class size for the single lower

division course is 16 students. Please note that all the courses in the table below are

offered just once per year. Introduction to Primate Husbandry (PRIM 220) and

Laboratory Work in Primatology (PRIM 320) provide hands-on experience in primate

husbandry and/or in conducting research, and both take place at The Chimpanzee and

Human Communication Institute. Class size for PRIM 320 is intentionally kept small to

facilitate students’ development of faculty-mentored projects.

II.H. Assessment of Programs and Students

II.H.1. List student learner outcomes for each graduate or

undergraduate degree program

Although learner outcomes exist for each course taught in the PBE program,

outcomes were not developed for the program as a whole until fall 2007. Assessment has

become a university-wide concern, and during 2007-8, PBE along with other departments

and programs participated in assessment workshops. The College of the Sciences offered

an assessment workshop on 9/6/07 to provide programs and departments with assessment

models and college and university educational goals. Workshop results were added into

the PBE assessment plan that was developed in fall 2007. The resultant program goals

and student learner outcomes are included in the appendix.

The basic assessment plan for the PBE degree includes 1) interviews conducted when

the student enters and exits the program; 2) the assembly of a portfolio by the student that

illustrates her or his mastery of program content and makes explicit the program’s values

and goals, where the portfolio is submitted during a senior capstone course; 3) collection

of course-embedded indicators of student mastery of concepts using course-specific

student learner outcomes, 4) annual alumni survey, and 5) regular meetings among

program faculty to reflect upon and respond to assessment results.

Data collection on some components of the above assessment plan will begin spring

quarter 2008, targeting students enrolled in Laboratory Work in Primatology (PRIM 320)

and Pongid Behavior (ANTH 416). Alumni were surveyed in summer 2007.

33

II.H.1.a. list the assessment tools or procedures used to assess students as they enter

the degree program.

When the student declares major, the advisor asks questions about the student’s

attitudes and values, which will be revisited during the exit interview. The advisor also

provides information to the student on program goals and student learner outcomes, the

capstone course, the portfolio (including classes that provide experiences to be included

in portfolio), and the exit interview.

Throughout the student’s completion of the PBE curriculum, he or she collects items

to include in the portfolio and meets regularly with her or his advisor. Course-embedded

data are also gathered by the program director (e.g., students’ performances on tests).

II.H.1.b. list the assessment tools used to assess students exiting or graduating from

the program.

The last quarter in the PBE degree, the student enrolls in a 1-2 credit capstone course

taught by the program director. She presents her portfolio as evidence of her mastery of

various topics in primatology. She completes an exit interview with the program director,

which revisits her attitudes and values as originally reported when she joined the

program. The program director uses portfolio artifacts to address program benchmarks.

The capstone course is being developed and will be submitted to the curriculum

committee spring 2008.

II.H.1.c. list the assessment tools used to assess alumni of the program including

results from alumni survey completed for this academic program review. Beginning

summer 2007, program faculty implemented an alumni survey (administered through the

university) that asked specific questions about the program, how the graduate is using her

34


or his education, and whether skills acquired in the program, such as writing scientific

reports, behavioral data collection, and habitat assessment, are more generally applicable

in the graduate’s current work or academic setting.

During subsequent summers, the annual alumni survey will be administered on-line,

and results will be compiled and distributed to program faculty by the program director.

During fall quarter, program faculty will meet to discuss and develop a plan to respond to

all assessment results. Program faculty will also provide the program director with

additional indicators used to assess the program’s success, such as the number of

publications or grants submitted with students.

II.H.2. Based upon the results from each of the assessment tools

listed above:

II.H.2.a. describe how teaching and learning has been affected

In nearly all courses, instructors administer student evaluation of instruction survey

forms (SEOIs) toward the end of the quarter. Instructors receive students’ written and

objective evaluations the following quarter. Instructors use these data to improve their

teaching, and SEOI results are required components of personnel files. Results do not yet

exist for the new assessment plan.

II.H.2.b. list the strengths of the program’s students

In program faculty’s admittedly subjective assessment of the program, opportunities

with hands-on research with primates stands out. Students self-report coming to our

campus for the opportunities to study and care for chimpanzees using humane, non-

invasive techniques. As a consequence, the program tends to attract students from across

the US (while the campus in general attracts a more local population), and perhaps

35

students of higher GPAs. PBE students come here for this particular program. Objective

data will be available beginning spring 2008, based on the new assessment plan.

II.H.2.c list the strengths of the program’s alumni

Complete results of the program’s first alumni survey are included in the Appendix.

The seven respondents graduated between 2002 and 2006. In 2001-2 the program

underwent some flux as Dr. Agustin Fuentes left the anthropology department, Dr.

Margie Clarke came in as a one year replacement, and Dr. Lori Sheeran was hired (2003)

in anthropology on a permanent basis. Some student comments reflect that this upheaval

had a negative impact on their experience of the program. Six of the seven respondents

majored in anthropology and PBE; one student majored in psychology and PBE.

Respondents tended to “strongly agree” that they were satisfied with the program, but

they were more neutral with respect to how well the program prepared them to face

professional challenges. They rated critical thinking, information literacy, and

communications as being “very important” or “important” in their current fields. They

appear to less frequently need content-specific information on primate taxonomy, data

collection, evolutionary processes, etc. in their current fields. Generally, they felt the

program prepared them “well” or “very well” for critical thinking, information literacy,

communications, and primate husbandry and enrichment. Several noted that their

experience at CHCI was the most important or helpful; one noted that the program

provided little help in career planning and placement. Two respondents were graduate

students, one had worked at a primate sanctuary, one worked for an animal rights

organization, and the others had jobs not directly related to primatology. Five respondents

made less than $20,000 per year; the remaining two made $20,000-40,000 per year.

36


As a consequence of the feedback provided by these students, program faculty plan to

make more explicit information literacy training students receive (including incorporation

of The Observer software in Primate Social Behavior [ANTH 313]) and an overview of

job prospects in primatology (a Primate Info Net jobs activity, again incorporated into

Primate Social Behavior).

II.H.2.d. list the programmatic learning outcomes that need to be most improved

The PBE program has not historically had an assessment mechanism in place. During

fall 2007 and winter 2008 (particularly during a retreat in November 2007), program

faculty developed an assessment plan that will be implemented in spring 2008.

Alumni rated highly on the survey their experiences in husbandry and enrichment,

and a field school in China and internships at zoos give students opportunities to work

with a variety of primates (indeed, species) in a variety of contexts. Given that job

prospects in primatology are very limited, these experiences are crucial in providing

undergraduates with career-related skills. Previous research experiences and sometimes

field experiences make our graduates highly sought after for graduate work in

primatology. More effort needs to focus, however, on helping students prepare for careers

in primatology and in making explicit to students the competitive nature of the field.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

Mary Lee Jensvold has been part of sign language studies of Washoe, Moja, Tatu, Dar and Loulis since 1986. Four of the chimpanzees acquired signs while cross-fostered in a human foster family. Loulis acquired his signs from Washoe, his adoptive mother, and other signing chimpanzees. They all continue to use the signs of ASL in their interactions with humans and each other and Mary Lee Jensvold focuses her research on these behaviors. Her master’s thesis was on imaginary play and her doctoral dissertation was on conversational repair in chimpanzee-human conversations. She has examined private signing, topic maintenance, representational drawing, phrase development, chimpanzee to chimpanzee conversations. Other research interests include humane care techniques, environmental enrichment, laughter and humor in chimpanzees, space use, and public education about chimpanzees. She is active in improving conditions and care for captive chimpanzees.

IV.D. Masters ProjectsNot applicable.

IV.E. Program Policies and Advising Services for StudentsTo declare a major in PBE, each student schedules an appointment with a member of

the PBE faculty to serve as her or his advisor. This advisor may or may not be the same

as the advisor for the student’s second major (psychology, biology, or anthropology).

The PBE advisor initially meets with the student to discuss her or his career goals and

interests and background education. The advisor then discusses with the student classes

for the PBE and the second major. Careful and regular advisement is needed to ensure the

student completes both degrees in a timely manner; most advisors meet with their

students every quarter. A “Background Information” questionnaire is given to students as

part of the application package, and what the student includes on this may serve as a

guide to the initial discussion with the advisor.

Program faculty meet several times each quarter, and during these meetings issues

that impact on curriculum are discussed (for example, changes in course offerings). This

information is made available to the students through one-on-one advisement sessions, on

the program webpage (http://www.cwu.edu/~primate/advising.htm), and occasionally

during a fall orientation meeting (usually in October).

IV.F. Other Student Services

Professional Societies

PBE undergraduate students have presented the results of their faculty-mentored research

at three professional venues. Program faculty and students are members of these

professional organizations.

Rocky Mountain Psychological Association

(http://www.rockymountainpsych.org/)

Northwest Anthropological Association (http://www.class.uidaho.edu/nwaa/)

American Society of Primatologists (http://www.asp.org)

Faculty-Led Clubs

The Wildlife Conservation Group was formed by students enrolled in Primate

Conservation (ANTH 499) during winter quarter, 2006 as a direct outgrowth of their

concern over the plight of free-living nonhuman primates. Group members have raised

more than $1,500 to be donated to various environmental causes, members attended a

lecture at Washington State University-Pullman given by Dr. Jane Goodall, the club

sponsored a lecture at CWU by Dr. Birute Galdikas, and members planned to attend a

lecture (later canceled) by Dr. Frances White.

Friends of Washoe is a non-profit organization associated with Central’s Chimpanzee

and Human Communication Institute. PBE program faculty Ms. Deborah Fouts and Dr.

Mary Lee Jensvold are board members. FOW is an important educational resource for

students interested in animal rights and conservation, particularly as these relate to

chimpanzees. Many PBE students are volunteers at the Institute.

Apprentice/Earthwatch Leaders at CHCI

Particularly promising undergraduate PBE students are hired to work at the

Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI) during the summer. Until

recently, CHCI hosted Earthwatch volunteers every summer, and PBE undergraduates

helped coordinate their activities and research. CHCI also hosts a summer apprenticeship

program that attracts students from around the world who are interested in animal

behavior. PBE undergraduates are sometimes hired to lead apprentice research teams

(although more typically graduate students do so).

Expanding Your Horizons

Expanding Your Horizons is an annual career fair held at Central intended to expose

middle-school girls to potential career paths in the sciences. Drs. Mary Lee Jensvold,

Megan Matheson, and Lori Sheeran have made presentations about primatology at this

fair in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005.

V. Facilities and Equipment by Location

V.A. Facilities AvailableThe PBE program has a reading room in Farrell Hall 320 that houses several hundred

books, articles, and DVDs/videotapes related to primatology, many of which are not

available in the CWU library. The room includes a TV, DVD player, computer terminal,

and some limited work space.

The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute has an extensive library of

articles, books, videos, and DVDs, including more than 20 years of archived video

footage collected from the chimpanzees living there. The Institute also houses several

VCRs, TVs, DVD players, video cameras, and computers that PBE students can use in

research associated with Intro to Primate Lab Procedures (PRIM 220), Laboratory Work

in Primatology (PRIM 320), and independent research projects conducted at the Institute.

Existing resources are adequate to current program needs. More space,

particularly more computer work stations for students, are planned as part of the

anthropology department’s move to a new building, which will allow for program

growth.

V.B. Equipment AvailableThe program is well-equipped and meets the needs of students and faculty. Through

an intramural grant intended to stabilize interdisciplinary programs such as PBE, the

program had a budget in 2006-7, part of which was used to purchase a video camera and

a digital camera. A SEED grant and a National Institutes of Health grant awarded to Drs.

Sheeran and Jensvold enabled the purchase (2006-7) of two DVDs, one television, one

video camera, one computer, one projector, observational software (The Observer), and

PDAs for using this software at remote locations. An intramural equipment grant partially

funded the purchase (2005) of a computer to support The Observer software (for use with

videotaped observations). The anthropology department has purchased casts of fossil and

living nonhuman primates, with more purchases made in 2007 through an intramural

equipment grant awarded to anthropology faculty. Casts are used in teaching Primate

Social Behavior (ANTH 313) and Primate Evolution (ANTH 418).

V.C. Technology AvailableThrough the National Institutes of Health grant referred to above, Drs. Jensvold and

Sheeran purchased (2006-7) computer software called The Observer. This program

enables instantaneous data collection and entry, data analysis, and accommodates video

footage and live data collection at remote locations. They also purchased (2007) two

PDAs with The Observer software installed on it to use in collection of live data.

Students will first be introduced to this technology in Primate Social Behavior (ANTH

313), and they will be encouraged to use it for research projects conducted in other

courses (e.g., Laboratory Work in Primatology [PRIM 320], Anthropological Field

Experience [ANTH 493], Design & Analysis for Observational Field Research [PSY

498], and internships). The software has been installed on two PDAs and two desktop

computers (one at CHCI and one in the Primate Reading Room).

ITS services two general use computer labs in Farrell Hall. PBE program faculty have

office computers available for use through their home departments.

Existing resources are adequate to current program needs. More space,

particularly more computer work stations for students, are planned as part of the

anthropology department’s move to a new building, which will allow for program

growth.

VI. Library and Technological Resources by Location

VI.A. General and Specific Requirements for Library by LocationBrooks Library subscribes to most of the major journals in primatology, including

International Journal of Primatology, American Journal of Primatology, Folia

Primatologica, Primates, and Evolutionary Anthropology. The library also subscribes to

the database PrimateLIT (http://primatelit.library.wisc.edu/), which is important to

primatology students for its comprehensive nature and its inclusion of articles published

in biological, anthropological, and psychological journals. Articles and books that are not

available on campus can be acquired through interlibrary loan, which has proved very

efficient for getting information to students in a few days or less. The Brooks Library has

a fairly extensive collection of DVDs and videotapes that, in conjunction with those

housed in the Primate Reading Room and at The Chimpanzee and Human

Communication Institute span the discipline.

VI.B. Information Literacy Proficiencies Expected of Students at the End of Major Coursework

VI.B.1. What instruction in information literacy is provided?, and

VI.B.2. How are these proficiencies assessed?Students receive training in information literacy at several points in the PBE

curriculum.

Primate Social Behavior (ANTH 313) includes a library and Internet tutorial

(assessed through students’ performance on a worksheet);

Evolutionary Psychology (PSY 442) and Pongid Behavior (ANTH 416) hone

students’ skills at writing research papers (assessed for appropriateness of

sources, thoroughness of literature review, and writing skills using a grading

rubric);

PowerPoint presentations in several courses (for example, Long Term Primate

Studies [ANTH 412] and Pongid Behavior [ANTH 416]) (assessed for

appropriateness of sources, thoroughness of subject coverage, and

presentation skills using a grading rubric);

The Observer software in Primate Social Behavior (ANTH 313) (assessed

through students’ performance on a worksheet); and

Students may use equipment, The Observer, Excel, and SPSS in research

classes such as Laboratory Work in Primatology (PRIM 320),

Anthropological Field Experience (ANTH 493), and Design and Analysis for

Observational Field Research (PSY 498) (students are assessed for their

proficiency at data collection, analysis and interpretation on research paper

using a grading rubric).

VI.C. Information Technologies Used by Faculty in the Classroom

PBE program faculty regularly use Internet sites, PowerPoint, DVD/Videos, websites,

Blackboard, and The Observer (behavioral software).

VI.D. Available Technology for Teaching and ResearchThe materials available to the program are generally outstanding, but it sometimes

proves challenging to make these resources available to the students. Challenges in

maintaining the Primate Reading Room include monitoring the collection, re-shelving

items after use, and cataloging. The room is not open on a regular basis, which has

limited students’ use of it.

VII. Analysis of the Review Period

VII.A. What has Gone Well in the Program?The PBE curriculum has been smoothly and regularly offered despite the fact that

three different departments are part of the program. Current methods of advisement

appear to be effective in ensuring that students complete both degrees in a timely fashion.

The program webpage has been updated and includes a section devoted to advisement

issues, which enables program faculty to communicate course offerings to the students.

High quality research experiences are consistently available to students at several

points throughout the program. Several are embedded in courses (for example, Animal

Behavior [BIOL 465]), and others occur through research or independent studies courses

(for example, research at CHCI [PRIM 320] or a field school in China [ANTH, BIOL

493, and PSY 498]). These offerings are stable, have cumulative databases spanning

multiple years that are available for student research, and demonstrably result in

publications and professional presentations for students and program faculty (see section

IV.C). Program faculty view these productive research opportunities as a high point of

the program, and these form the basis for our development of an MS proposal.

Starting fall quarter 2006, program faculty developed a charter which has been

approved at college and university levels. The process of creating the charter helped us to

clarify program goals, which was particularly important for our development of an

assessment plan for the program.

Due to the program faculty’s recent success in securing grants, the program has state

of the art equipment and technology available to the students and faculty (see section

V.). The reading room archives articles, books, journals, and audiovisual materials

specific to primatology. Challenges remain, however, in making these resources

consistently available to the students.

The PBE program was initiated under the leadership of CWU anthropology professor

Agustin Fuentes, with the first cohort of students in 1999. Dr. Fuentes left Central in

2002, which left a vacuum and temporarily undermined the stability of the program,

particularly with respect to anthropology courses offered. His departure was followed by

a one year replacement (Dr. Margie Clarke). Dr. Lori Sheeran was hired beginning in fall

2003, and the program has benefited from increased stability in personnel and course

offerings. One or two respondents to the alumni survey comment on the challenges they

faced being in the program during that time of transition among these three professors.

Through the National Institutes of Health Bridges to the Baccalaureate grant awarded

to Drs. Jensvold and Sheeran, a recruitment plan has been developed, particularly

targeting Yakima Valley Community College students. Dr. Jensvold visits YVCC at least

once during fall and spring quarters and gives a PowerPoint presentation on the program

in psychology, biology, and anthropology classes. Several students have enrolled in the

program because of her campus visits. We plan to continue using these recruitment tools

beyond the length of the grant. The Bridges to the Baccalaureate grant is intended to

increase the numbers of minority students completing degrees in the sciences. It entailed

the development of a plan to recruit, retain, and matriculate minority students, and its

successful implementation will significantly increase the number of minority students

majoring in Primate Behavior and Ecology. The development of a program brochure

(included in the Appendix) and the posting of program information on Primate Info Net

have helped to recruit students from states other than Washington.

The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute has played a vital role in

attracting students to the Primate Behavior and Ecology program, and the presence of the

chimpanzees on campus provides an important husbandry and research opportunity along

with consideration of equally vital ethical and philosophical issues related to

primatological research. Unique teaching occurs at the Institute, that includes public

outreach through Chimposiums, sessions for Central students, summer apprenticeships,

Earthwatch volunteers (until recently), and undergraduate and graduate research. In 2007,

program faculty Roger and Deborah Fouts were awarded a Spheres of Distinction grant

which will enable us to hire a full-time, tenure-track professor to teach in the Primate

Behavior and Ecology program, and to serve as Assistant Director of the Institute. This

position will help to formalize the relationship between the Institute and the program and

is important in building the infrastructure needed for the MS program currently being

proposed. The search committee was formed at the end of fall quarter 2007, and the new

person will start work at Central fall quarter 2008.

VII.B. What Challenges Remain?Although the program is well equipped and has a room (Farrell Hall 320) for storing

and using equipment and reading and audiovisual materials, it has proved difficult to

make these materials consistently available to the students due to security concerns. A

TA could be hired to staff the room, help with reshelving, and oversee how books and

articles are loaned out for copying. He or she could also be responsible for developing an

equipment checkout sheet and monitoring the state of the equipment when it is returned.

The anthropology department is moving to a new building (Dean Hall), and the primate

room in that building could be equipped with a key card issued to students on a quarterly

basis; this would reduce but not eliminate security concerns. If used more consistently,

however, this room might also provide students with a home base for socializing,

studying, and for student group meetings. This seems particularly important because

Primate Behavior and Ecology students have different second majors and have few

opportunities to interact with other primatologists outside of classes.

Program faculty are in the process of developing an assessment plan for both the BS

and the proposed MS programs. In November 2007, we had a retreat during which we

selected an assessment model, with plans to begin collecting data in winter quarter 2008.

Incorporating assessment will require some major adjustments in advising and additional

time (for example, to conduct exit interviews). Continuity between directors in

assessment plan is a concern, and 3 workloads release per year does not seem adequate

for the director to oversee these changes. However, program faculty are undergoing

review, developed an assessment plan, and proposed an MS degree all in the same year,

so in future time invested might be less of an issue.

Alumni have proved difficult for program faculty to track. The alumni survey we

created spring quarter 2007 was implemented by the university the following quarter and

will help us more effectively track job placement. Job prospects are not strong in

primatology, and this appears to be a major concern of our students that could be

addressed more effectively in the curriculum. Contacts and internships are important in

gaining access to scarce jobs, and we would like to use our program website to maintain

contact among alumni, current students, and program faculty.

The biology department faculty have instituted curriculum changes that will impact

on the Primate Behavior and Ecology curriculum. They have linked a 100-level

chemistry series of three courses (CHEM 181, 182, 183) to the 100-level biology series

of three courses (newly numbered BIOL 181, 182, 183) for majors. All six courses are

prerequisites for General Ecology (BIOL 360). The three 100-level biology courses and

the ecology course are in the Primate Behavior and Ecology core curriculum. The

majority of program faculty were concerned about adding three chemistry classes to the

program curriculum and the delays this might pose for our students. We eventually voted

to make the following curriculum change:

PBE/BIOL students take CHEM 181, 182, 183; BIOL 181, 182, 183, 360

PBE/ANTH and PBE/PSY students take BIOL 101, 200, 201, and 302 (for

ecology)

These program adjustments will necessitate a catalog change. Program faculty are not

uniformly satisfied with the response to curriculum changes, and some of us question

whether it is valid to title the degree Primate Behavior and Ecology.

Some program faculty express frustration over the continuing challenge of offering

research opportunities throughout the curriculum. There appears to be scarce

recognition of our extracurricular efforts or administrative attempts to facilitate the

development and maintenance of research sites. This perceived lack of interest has

impacted on faculty morale in this program at least.

In the past two years, the College of the Sciences has made a much appreciated effort

to stabilize interdisciplinary programs such as Primate Behavior and Ecology. We still

feel, however, that the college has not capitalized on the success of our program or

done all it can to advertise these; for example, interdisciplinary programs are difficult to

find on the college webpage. We encourage opportunities for our faculty to work with

college staff to increase our program’s visibility.

VII.C. What Resources Have Been Provided in the Last 5 Years?Some resources have been obtained by the faculty through intramural and extramural

grants; others have been allocated by the dean of COTS. Recently received resources

include equipment (camera, TV, DVD player, computer, video camera); computer

software (The Observer); 3 workload units of release time for the program director; an

increased program budget as part of Spheres of Distinction grant to stabilize

interdisciplinary programs in general; and a full-time, tenure-track faculty position

through a Spheres of Distinction grant. These resources enabled us to complete an MS

degree program proposal, a program charter, and to develop of assessment methods for

both the existing BS program and the proposed MS one.

This is the first program review for PBE, so the question is not applicable.

VIII. Future Directions

VIII.A. Describe the Program’s Aspirations for the Next 3-5 YearsOver the next 3-5 years, program faculty plan to:

1. Institute the Primate Behavior MS degree program, beginning fall quarter

2008.

2. Make curriculum adjustments to the BS program based on changes in 100-

level biology courses.

3. Implement assessment plan for MS and BS programs.

4. Make program resources (books, articles, computers, equipment) more

accessible to our students, through the development of a monitoring and

maintenance system.

5. Find permanent sources of support for faculty and student research (field

schools, etc.), particularly focusing on sources that provide adequate faculty

compensation.

6. Complete Spheres of Distinction full-time, tenure-track search (position

shared between PBE and The Chimpanzee and Human Communication

Institute) (search completed spring quarter 2008).

7. Develop rationale to support hiring an additional full-time, tenure-track

faculty member as part of the MS program, preferably with expertise in

primate ecology and conservation.

8. Develop more internship opportunities for students at BS and MS levels,

including internships that focus on caretaker responsibilities and other job-

related skills. This includes exploring an internship program with Oregon

Primate Rescue (relocating from Oregon to Washington in 2008) and with

Port Defiance Zoo in addition to revitalizing our connection to Woodland

Park Zoo.

9. Maintain existing recruitment efforts at Yakima Valley Community College,

perhaps with expansion to other area community colleges such as Wenatchee.

10. Work with COTS Development Officer Gina Banesh to foster more

systematic connections with alumni (currently, relationships are maintained

informally with particular professors).

VIII.B. Describe Ways the Program Might Increase Quality, Quantity, and/or Efficiency

Establishment and implementation of an assessment plan will help us to identify

what’s working well with the program and what needs improvement, which will increase

quality and efficiency. Program faculty have been very effective with respect to the

regularity course offerings, the stability and productivity of research opportunities offered

to students throughout the program, and the development of focused, commonly held

goals. The BS program is probably already at maximum quantity given constraints on

faculty time (all of us are assigned to other departments). The Primate Behavior MS

program (if approved) will place additional demands on faculty time and resources,

which is sustainable over the short term but will eventually require us to hire one

additional faculty member (see point 7 above).

VIII.C. What Resources Would the Program Need to Pursue these Future Directions?

Program faculty discussed resource needs at a retreat held in November 2007. The

issues below summarize concerns expressed by faculty during the retreat.

Assessment. The university is moving toward an environment that shows greater

accountability to the state through assessment. We have developed assessment plans for

both MS and BS programs, but program faculty may need additional time allocated in

annual workloads to be able to accomplish this task consistently in the years to come. The

Dean of COTS has increased the allocation for the program director from 3 to 6 workload

units per year, which will provide important support as we begin data collection and

analysis. Program faculty who teach courses that are ear-marked for assessment might

also need to request 1-2 workload units in service per year.

New Faculty and Staff. We included requests for a part-time secretary and a full-

time, tenure-track faculty position in the Primate Behavior MS proposal. Currently, the

anthropology department provides secretarial assistance to the PBE program, but the

increased complexity of the program as it grows to include an MS degree necessitates

additional support staff. A permanent, part-time secretary will also provide continuity

between program directors, who typically serve a three-year term. An additional faculty

position will enable the program curriculum to expand to include new MS courses.

Existing program faculty are already assigned to teach in their home departments, with

very few undergraduate courses serving just the PBE undergraduate program. A new

position is warranted to expand course offerings as would occur with the MS program

and to assist with graduate advising.

Support for Research. During our November 2007 retreat, faculty expressed

frustration over the lack of adequate compensation for field courses, cumbersome

application processes, and limited assistance with recruitment, along with a need for high

enrollments. Some concluded that the university does not truly support student-faculty

research collaboration, particularly of the variety that occurs outside of the laboratory

setting. We felt that more flexible teaching assignments (for example, being able to teach

during fall, winter and summer quarters to accommodate a spring quarter spent doing

research) and increased financial support (for example, compensating faculty at full

salary for Study Abroad and other collaborative research with students) would help.

6. Did you experience any challenges or difficulties related to your professional goals following your graduation from CWU? If so, please describe:

[No][I've found a hard time finding good sanctuaries to work with in the US, as well as very low pay at the ones I did work for. Also I've found very limited availability of paid field research opportunities without pursuing higher degrees.][I loved getting this degree but was qualified for very little in the real world once I graduated. I wish there had been a focus on the application of this degree in various job sects and areas of life. It was a wonderful experience but I consider it just that, an experience, rather than a useful degree. I know that there are people who have graduated and are using this degree in real life, but they are few and far between. It is extremely difficult to continue in this field, both in terms of number of available jobs, and with regards to money. It seems you have to be independently wealthy in order to have a job in primatology.][No challenges or difficulties. Faculty were helpful and I feel that I was pushed to do my best!!][Yes. It is hard to find jobs in the field. I would like to open a sanctuary myself but it is even harder to get funding.][I think this question really depends upon what your goals are. I am faced with the challenge of no sanctuaries close to where we live.][I found graduate school to be horribly unpleasant and unfulfilling. There are no job opportunities for primatologists outside of academia.]

8. When you consider the education you received in the PB & E major, what was the most helpful or useful to you?

[I would probably say working at CHCI. It not only gave me unique experience in husbandry and behavioral enrichment, but a better chance to help solidify what I was learning in classes. Also, the amount of relationships I came out of there with, both human and non-human.][the ecology aspect, how primates interact with the environments they live in.][Working at CHCI was the most beneficial part of my education. If I hadn't worked there, I would have gleaned very little from this program. I was attending school in between department heads. Augustin Fuentes had just left and we were kind of floating without a mentor to guide us. Margie Clark was a horrible professor and I learned very little from her, especially since she was a "fill-in" and didn't seem to know what she was doing. And I graduated right before Lori Sheeran started (I've heard that she's great). So without the knowledge I obtained from CHCI and the chimps, I feel I would have come away with very little knowledge.][My trip to China really helped me put everything together. Even though I didn't have the opportunity to study all aspects of primate behavior and ecology while I was there, all of the issues were seen and discussed.][Everything I learned for the most part was useful but I would say the most useful part of my education experience was my time spent with the chimps and what they taught me.][The opportunity to work with primates before graduating. Then after we graduate we have a bit of experience.][The general biology classes and statistics courses were the most personally useful.]

9. What is the title of your job or vocation (whether paid or unpaid)?

[Graduate student][Currently not working in the primate field, but most recently I was head primate caregiver at a sanctuary in Florida specializing in neotropical primates. Now I am a legal assistant.][Assistant Property Manager-Commerical Real Estate][I am currently a Group Living Campus Counselor at a adolescent girls residential treatment center.][Humane Educator for an animal rights organization][Was in school at Oxford Brookes University until one month ago. I am just now beginning the career search.][Resident Manager]

10. How often do you provide consulting services?

[Never][Right now, not often.][Never][I don't.][n/a][Occasionally tutor high school and early college kids in biology.]

11. Does your job or vocation require you to use both your Primate Behavior and Ecology degree and your companion degree? If so, how?

[Not exactly at this point. Hopefully they will both be used for some sort of film in the future.][When I was working in sanctuaries, yes it did require the knowledge from both degrees. I really appreciated having the experience from both programs.][Not at all.][Yes, the basics of primate behavior and human culture help me to understand the girls I work with][My job does not require either but I use the knowledge gained from both in my work and everyday life][N/A right now][No.]

16. If you have any other comments about the Primate Behavior and Ecology program at CWU please let us know.

[When I was pursuing my degree the program went through a number of faculty. This is the only problem I saw with my experience at CWU is that I never got to really work much with one professor as an advisor or mentor, I never got to know any of the three professors very well & they never got the chance to know me or how they could help me.]

[I really would have liked the opportunity for more internships and travel programs with the primate program. When I was there, there didn't seem to be any assistance with helping us to make connections and get jobs after graduation. That was extremely frustrating for a 22 year old who is starting out fresh in the world. I felt abandoned by the program that I had put so much money into as an out of state student.][I was very pleased with the program and thankful that I had the opportunity to pursue my degrees. It was always a dream to work with primates. At this point in time I don't know what kind of career I will have, but I will value the knowledge I gained at CWU and continue to pursue my interests through personal research.][I think it would be good help students exiting the program to find work in the field in some way.][The chimp lab component is poorly managed and shouldn't be mandatory.]

Thank you very much for your time and input to the Primate Behavior and Ecology program at CWU!
