Present:  Dario Borim, Lisa Knauer, and Elizabeth Correiro

Absent:  C. Chen, M. Santow, J. Riley, Sri Reddy, and Annie Ryan.

1.               Election of Chairperson, secretary, and selection of webmaster

Chairperson:  Lisa Knauer

Secretary:  Elizabeth Correiro

Webmaster:  Dario Borim

2.               Review of current charge for the 2005-06 academic year as set forth by the Faculty Senate

Charge

        As we bring more and more students into residential housing, it is important that we first evaluate what is being done to provide student activities and to determine what additions/changes/deletions in this program will be appropriate in the future.  Thus, we would ask that you survey the students concerning activities for both residence hall students and the general community.  What policies and procedures concerning these activities are needed?

3.                Discussion of initial plan to meet the requirements of the charge:

 

A contact list of individuals/groups was compiled that we thought would be helpful in developing and disseminating our survey to the UMD community.  The list of contacts below was divided among the three CAC members present at today’s meeting.  All will report back with findings at the next CAC meeting.

 

            Nora Barnes- Center for Business Research: Develop a survey instrument

            Norman Barber- First Year Experience

            Jamie Jacquart- Director of Student Organization: Obtain a list of student

            organizations and discuss the best way to contact them.

            Susan Leclair- President, Faculty Senate: Request CVPA faculty member on CAC

            Matthew Roy- Past chair, CAC:  Meet to discuss CAC affairs form 2004-05.

            Julie Parker- Women’s Resource Center: Contact for reaching students

           

4.                Other information needed:

 

Are there funds available to the CAC for the 2005-06 academic year?

ULEPAC- What comes under this committee and how does the CAC fit into it?

 

5.         Next CAC Meeting:            Thursday, October 13 at 0900. 

We will look at constructing a survey and a plan of action to get it out to

the UMD community.  Please make every effort to attend this meeting!

 

 

Respectfully submitted,

            Elizabeth E. Correiro
