2. Mn Collaborative/ VALUE rubric test: Lisa Foss updated the committee on the
Multi State Collaborative (MSC) and the follow up workshop being held during
the Fall Workshops on Thursday, October 8. The committee discussed how

Compact. Lisa further described the Mn Collaborative which is running parallel

process.
3. IM Projects: Holly Evers stated that there are several ongoing projects around
assessment and Tk20 that Information Media students are working on,
