our next meeting to present a marketing proposal.

3. Progress Reports:
Logo Team
Suzette Dohany has received a CD with the finished logo. An electronic copy will be forwarded to each team member via
e-mail for approval. Upon approval, the student will be paid for her work.
THINK Project Team
The THINK team has met twice. The goal of these meetings has been to arrive at a reasonably sized project that can be
successful within the timeframe of the project. The first task undertaken by the group will be to draft an institutional
THINK rubric that is holistic in nature. Six team members will attend an AAHE Assessment workshop with the goal of
developing this draft.
Information Clearinghouse/website
The information clearinghouse team has requested space and a template from OIT and is conducting research to locate
related materials currently available on Valencia's website as well as external THINK-related resources. The goal of this
team is to develop a searchable database the will link to other sites such as the Destinations website and AAHE.
4. Meeting Format
Given the time members will be committing to team work, it was decided that during the spring term, the first meeting of
the month will be dedicated to individual team meetings held at the 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm Wednesday timeframe. Team
leaders will convene these meetings using Osceola 2-223 or a location of their choice. The last meeting in the month will
be the entire LET when progress on team projects will be reported as well as other matters relevant to the whole team.
Learning Day, September 27, 2005:
The next Learning Day will be part of a new Valencia sponsored conference, Valencia's Learning Conversations. It is
likely that members of the LET will be asked to give presentations about our work.
Consultant Opportunity:

 Thursday, February 3, on the east campus, 4-212B to discuss the THINK project
 Friday, February 4, on the west campus, 1-130 to discuss the Learning Evidence Plan
