Session Objectives:

Marketing Plan for TVCA
The LET has requested support from Marketing to design a suite of materials to promote the core
competencies overall and the emphasis we plan for THINK this year. Joan Andrek asked us to think about a
variety of issues that relate to our internal campaign. Services from the Marketing Office include: printing
support, coordination with LifeMap owners, copywriting, design services, interface with graphic services and
OIT. The LET communicated to Joan that we are interested in a campaign similar to the LifeMap initiative that
would include banners, posters, and web promotion. Joan will take our ideas back to her department and
present their plans at our next meeting. Judi, Mike, Kira, and Suzette volunteered to work with Marketing on
this planning process.
Information Clearinghouse/Website Report
The webography plan is being coordinated with Priscilla Yamin and will incorporate the existing Destinations
website as a base. Additional material and activities will be added and the search topics will be increased to
reflect the emphasis on THINK.
Banquet Work Group
The Banquet work group has focused its attention on sources of funding. Once the details of the THINK
initiative are more clearly defined, details of the banquet can be considered. So far, it appears that the
Foundation may be able to help with a portion of the banquet expenses.
THINK Work Group (Rubric and Evidence)
The THINK work group presented their draft rubrics for the Think Indicators and their plan to validate the rubric
using student work. Concern was expressed with the use of student work generated from communications
courses and regarding the participation of communications faculty in testing the rubric. Further, there was
interest expressed in looking at the rubrics developed and currently in use by speech and writing faculty for
assessment purposes. The THINK work group will meet before the next meeting and consider these concerns
and revise the plan as necessary. The LET will vote at the next meeting to endorse, or not to endorse, the
revised plan.
Draft White Paper on Improving Access to Institutional Data for Faculty and Staff
As time ran out, brainstorming was postponed until the next meeting.
