Review of Assignments, Remaining Work, and Next Meeting (20 minutes)
The team will seek volunteers to finish any incomplete reports on the Strategic
Issues and Initiatives, and to submit those by April 15.
If reports remain to be completed, those will be reviewed by the team either at a
fourth meeting, to be held before finals week. This review may be done via an inperson meeting, or via email.
Also, the team will seek volunteers to obtain any additional baseline data it wishes
to include, by April 15. (There may not be any additional data needed, given all of
the data already posted, as noted above. However, this is for the team to decide.)
Based on its review, at the April 11 meeting if time allows and if the team is
ready, or at a fourth meeting to be called no later than mid-May, the team will
answer these questions that will be included in the team’s annual report:
1. To what extent has progress been made toward objective 1? What evidence do
we have of that progress?
2. Do the current and planned activities in the Strategic Initiatives reports show
promise of “moving the needle” on objective 1 by 2013?
3. Are there significant challenges or opportunities related to objective 1 that
should be noted?
4. Have we learned anything that we are currently using or that we might use to
improve the success of future efforts toward achieving objective 1?
5. Does the team have any recommendations regarding the objective or the
measures being used to gauge progress (as developed by the 09-10 team)?
After the team discusses and answers these questions and submits all reports on Issues
and Initiatives, the information will be combined into a formal report from the team to the
college.
The team may opt to review that report electronically, and edit/approve it via email
vote, rather than calling a last in-person meeting. The team is free to divide the work
among in-person and electronic meetings and reviews as it deems appropriate.
All members of the team will attend Big Meeting on June 2 on West Campus, if at all
possible.

Minutes from 12-1-2010 Meeting
Jeff asked for a review of the December meeting minutes. There were no suggestions for
edits.
Review of Charge
Big Meeting has been tentatively changed to June 2 so the work of the team must be
completed prior to that date.
Review of Strategic Issues
The team discussed the strategic issues that were determined in prior meetings to relate to
Goal 1. Each issue was assigned to a team member to lead the effort to review and update
the reports on the strategic issues. Jeff Cornett offered the services of IR for any data
needs.

Issue #1: Adrian Manley will lead the update.
Issue #2: Linda Downing will lead the update.
Issue #4: There was a discussion on which objective this issue was related to. It was
determined it is related to both objectives 1.2 and 1.3. Cathy Penfold Navarro will lead
the update.
Issue #6: Marjorie McKillop will lead the update.
Issue #7: Kimberly Finley will lead the update.
Issue #8: A lengthy discussion was held about the data and information needs associated
with this issue. It was suggested that perhaps this issue should be tied to the college’s
enrollment management plan. Another suggestion was to use information being gathered
by Transition Services and their current initiative to contact students who start the
admissions process but never enroll. We want to try to understand how college resources
impact student experiences. Jeff Cornett and Steven Thiesse will lead the update.
Issue #10: Jessica Morales will lead the update.
Issue #13: Sally Witcamp led the update last year and it was suggested that she may be
contacted to determine if she is willing to lead the update again this year.
Issue #14: Melissa Pedone will lead the update.
The team also discussed the additional issues that were suggested in the previous meeting
may relate to Goal 1.

What are the contributions that a student can make to achieve his or her goals? It was
determined that this is a Learning Assured issue and should be referred to Goal 2.
How do we measure the extent to which we are accessible? How can we describe
what it means to “Build Pathways?” There are two distinct questions posed here.
There was confusion over who needed the description of “Build Pathways.” The
essay written by Dr. Shugart appears to already provide this description for the
institution. From what perspective are we trying to measure access? It was not clear if
this really is a strategic issue and the team agreed to discuss this further at a future
meeting.
How do we define and practice collaboration? How should be communicate in a
collaborative college? It was determined that this issue should be related to objective
3.1.
What constitutes meaningful data? Should we compare statistics by socioeconomic
indicators, rather than by race? What is the usefulness of such a comparison? This is
not an issue specific to goal 1 and should be considered by all goal teams. The team
preferred the phrase “in addition to” to replace “rather than” to indicate that
socioeconomic information should be collected along with race/ethnicity whenever
demographic data is analyzed. There was a lengthy discussion of how FAFSA data
may or may not be useful to get to the heart of this issue. The following
questions/action items were raised.
o How do we turn data into useful information?
o The college should collect and report socioeconomic information anytime
demographic information is reported.
o We should continue to consider what additional data we need to collect as a
college. Should the College Planning Council Data Team be reactivated?
A fifth issue of defining “student success” was also discussed. Jeff Cornett has developed
a new model which includes students who leave without graduating but have a successful
departing GPA in addition to traditional graduation rates as another means of measuring
successful students. The following questions were raised:
 Do students’ behaviors (i.e., declaring an AS major to get financial aid to cover
specific courses) impact how we determine our “success?”
 Should students help us define whether or not they are successful? Are external
measures controlling our internal measures of success?
 Should student satisfaction measures be included as a measure of their success?
Review of Goal-Related Initiatives
The team reviewed the goal-related initiatives and assigned them to a team member to
lead the effort to update the progress on each initiative.
