Lexie meeting with Dean Taylor – Discussion

  • If you could meet with Dean Taylor, what would you say to him? What would you want him to know?
  • More liberal arts based events – more of an online presence with calendar for all of the events for Liberal Arts (Like a HUB for events on one platform/source)
  • One email, not necessarily multiple emails per day from the College of LA- this could potentially increase chances for exposure & clickthroughs
  • Why are most PoliSci classes on Tuesdays/Thursday of next Spring? The ones offered next semester are on those days. 400 levels – hard to schedule because they seem to be at the same time. Time is an issue with scheduling.
  • We like the “what-if” factor on the degree audit
  • Able to transfer your classes over to your calendar
  • Ashley Dorsey – LionPath
  • Examples of what is difficult about LionPath, like what it needs and what we need to change. This will help the dean see what it needs and have him change it, or work on it for the future.
  • “We’d like you to know what we’re specifically experiencing..”
  • Suggest another ettiquitte dinner for EACH semester- not just Spring
  • Could help students who are graduating in the middle of the year (Winter)
  • LionPantry – free food for PSU students- help out in the college, or work with them.
  • Maybe have a food drop-off
  • Work more with volunteer organizations
  • Athletes have access to free printing
  • We should have a center for free printing in the LA building or in general for LA students
  • We write more papers and print more articles, information, etc. than a lot of other colleges, however we only get 100 pages
  • College of Comm -200 pages
  • UPUA free printing in office
  • Schreyer extra 100 pgs
  • Try for extra 100 pages or more than that
  • Scholarships- source for them
  • LA Scholarships
  • Central database for all students
  • Career Enrichment Center Website – on site?
  • Advisors could know what scholarships and grants are available for their students
  • CENetwork could look at scholarships for each major and give them to advisors for reference for their students- easier for us to know that information
  • Graduate school funding and resources for more schooling (without PHD)
  • Ability to make a database
  • could combine financial aid and “future” financial aid together for undergrad students and grad students

Change meeting times due to schedule conflicts with other orgs?

  • In future- change?
  • An hour later, different day?
  • Tuesdays

UPUA

  • Leader for Alt Spring Break –
  • the application of the alternative spring break director due 11:59pm Friday.
