Request edit on 2 November 2016 edit
The source drawn for information from the Mitchell College website has been updated. Please visit http://mitchell.edu/at-a-glance/ for more up to date information. A brief description of the college is available. "A four-year coeducational, residential liberal arts college offering bachelor degrees and associate degrees, Mitchell developed its distinct educational approach over 75 years, blending a tradition of mentoring with an expertise in teaching diverse learning styles to create a highly individualized model that benefits all students. Mitchell is committed to the broader community through building strong, creative and cooperative partnerships. Located on a beautiful waterfront campus in historic New London, it is also home to championship NCAA Division III athletics and the Duquès Academic Success Center which includes the renowned Bentsen Learning Center."
The correct Board of Trustees chair, Kevin Hennessy, J.D., http://mitchell.edu/at-a-glance/.
A complete listing of degree programs can be found on page 60-61 of the 2016-2017 course catalog, http://mitchell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Mitchell-College-Course-Catalog-2016-17.pdf. The current wikipedia entry lists the programs of study or departments, but those do not reflect the majors and specific degrees that can be earned.

- You're going to have to go a lot slower and propose a few edits at a time. It's impossible to evaluate a proposal when it's this massive and none of the proposed changes are clearly identified.
- I also strongly suggest reviewing our college and university article advice as it's very unlikely that we'll want to deviate too far from that e.g., we're not going to open the article with the college's mission statement. Additionally, please don't insert external links into the body of the article.
- Feel free to ask for help! ElKevbo (talk) 22:21, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Request edit on 26 October 2019 edit
 | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The proposed text is a copyright violation (of this page) and cannot be added to Wikipedia. We are in any case not going to add text written by the company itself or its paid agents, as to do so might violate FTC regulations on deceptive advertising, and thus be illegal. |
I am requesting new text for this page, to go under "Academics." All the text that is currently under "Academics" would be replaced with the following text:
"With the Mitchell Ability Model, courses are designed to help students build the ability to dynamically adapt. The model starts with the abilities students need to be flexible, capable, and adaptable: critical and creative thinking; analysis and problem-solving; communication; information and communication technology literacy; diversity and global perspectives; values, ethics, and social responsibility; and social interaction. Students then learn core information about a field of endeavor: Human Services, Leadership and Business Management, Sciences, and Teaching and Learning.
With the Mitchell Ability Model, students have room to explore other interests while building skills through courses and work experience throughout their time at the College. With Mitchell College’s 12-3-3 Pacing Model, students set their own pace. Each semester begins with a 12-week multi-course schedule. The 12-week session is followed by one concentrated 3-week course. For even more flexibility, students may add in up to 3 MiniMester concentrated sessions—January, May and June."
I am requesting these changes because Mitchell College recently made a change to their academic structure from a typical liberal arts model to the Mitchell Ability Model. Mitchell is requesting that their Wikipedia page be updated to reflect their current academic structure. More information about the Mitchell Ability Model can be found at http://mitchell.edu/mitchell-ability-model/.

- That's blatantly promotional content, Ajbulgrien, and can never be accepted in the encyclopedia. You've been advised as to WP:COI guidelines. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:24, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- By the way, it's a good idea that we go through the promotional content that Ajbulgrien has entered, both here and in the article. At least some small part was copied from the college's website. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:56, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
