1. Distibution of Materials

   • Committee members distributed the reports they had written in compliance with their charge. For the reports not yet completed, (interviews and/or documents summarizing compliance with Action Plan) members will provide them to the committee electronically prior to next week's meeting.

2. Overview of Presentation

   • Deb explained to the committee the format other Standard Subcommittees had followed for the College presentation. She listed the methodology we had used as a committee and asked for suggestions/additions to be made to the list. The members agreed it was comprehensive and a good starting point. Discussion followed as to how the data that has been collected could be synthesized and presented.

   • A suggestion was made that we follow the Plan of Action and return to the original groups we had been assigned to compile the data. The members in each group and their focus are as follows:

   • Group 1: Warren, George and Emilie - Section 1 of Action Plan
   • Group 2: Lynne, Ruth and Mark - Section 2 of the Action Plan
   • Group 3: Joan, Maddy, and Sonya - Section 3 of the Action Plan
   • Group 4: Marcia, Elaine and Deb - Section 4 of the Action Plan

   • The committee will work on Section 5 of the Action Plan. It is expected that the each group will meet prior to next week's meeting and present their summaries in writing to the committee on April 8th.

3. Middle States Meeting

   • Most of the committee members have agreed to come to this week's Middle States presentation on Institutional Assessment. Everyone present has committed to attend Standard 14 Subcommittee's presentation to the College on April 17th.

4. Expectations for Next Week

   • Discussions will continue on preliminary findings and recommendations for the committee presentation scheduled for April 17, 2003.
