Meeting was called to order by Connie Wilson
Action project feedback from the Desktop Support Subcommittee was discussed. While the comments did not provide a lot of direction for the subcommittee, one comment was that it might be good to establish a timeline.
The Desktop Support Subcommittee gave a report on their progress this year. They held a brownbag session to see if people around campus view IS as getting better. In addition, Lynn conducted a survey of administrative assistants across campus to gain their opinions. Proposed goals for this year were discussed, which includes transitioning to a permanent structure consisting of faculty, staff and students. The Committee suggested adding a goal stating the subcommittee will work with the technology consultant that will be coming to campus. The Subcommittee will work with Jeff Russell to schedule a time to meet with the consultant.
The Student Learning Subcommittee gave a progress report. They will be focusing on capstones this year. They will be surveying units across campus to see what capstone experiences are in place currently. The 2005 NSSE results were compared to the 2004 results.
The Systems Portfolio was disseminated to Cabinet & Council in September. Feedback is currently being incorporated into the Portfolio. A revised version will be sent out shortly for review at the unit level. The current version of the Portfolio will also be emailed to the Committee.
Connie has submitted an abstract for the Higher Learning Commission Annual Meeting relating to uses of IDEA results across campus. As Connie has showcased our work at the meeting for the last few years, anyone on the Committee is welcome to take over this role if they would like.
Results from the AQIP Organizational Climate Survey were distributed. We scored below the benchmark in most areas. Cory will get a breakdown of questions for each category.
Proposed action project descriptions written by Michael, Heidi, and Cory were discussed. Suggestions were offered.
A summary of the Stakeholder Feedback Subcommittee will be emailed out to the Committee for feedback.
Respectfully submitted,
Cory Clasemann
