Agenda

1. Briefings

Nancy Buffington, Director of the Writing Fellows program, will describe the program and discuss ideas for its continuance or expansion.

Hal White, George Watson, and Barbara Duch will discuss the Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education, a faculty-led initiative that seeks to implement innovative approaches to learning, such as problem-based learning. We will brainstorm with them about how change happens on this campus. What gives an initiative legs?

Our student representative, Karen McCready, would like to discuss ideas for student involvement in our planning. Jack Baroudi has some ideas there, too. John Courtright has a suggestion for hearing more about communication coursework and issues.
