SEAC Meeting 3/14/2007
Attending: Cindy Darrow, Mary Williams, Jacki Betsworth, Nick Christensen, Julie Lucking
Introduction of New Member
Cindy Darrow introduced Nick Christensen, our new student representative.
Approval of February 14 Minutes with one change:
Clarification of TFOB’s recommendation of a 2% increase for both summer and academic year across the board to departments, but no wage or award increase: Cindy clarified w/Doug Rosenberg that the 2% increase is at the discretion of the line officer. This may lay groundwork toward a more equitable shift of funds to where student employment dollars are currently needed. (see item below)
Follow Up on Action Items from Feb 14 Meeting
ACTION: SEAC members will share their internal tracking methods within the group next meeting, in an attempt to find a template to offer supervisors across campus. (presentation was set aside, as Mary has been able to print reports.)
ACTION: Betsy will draft an invitation & send to all for review, then to Mary for distribution. (completed)
ACTION: Jacki will follow up re: website homepage coverage. (completed.) Julie Hogan offered publication on 1600grand:
”We generally reserve the homepage for information for our external audience--pros. students, alumni, parents and general visitors but beginning April our new portal, 1600grand, will be working. That's where we plan on posting information that is important to our internal community--this would be a great story for that venue. There's even a spot on the homepage for a picture, which could be of the student.”
ACTION: Cindy will talk with Bon Appetit to see whether they will donate cakes or make a special arrangement to take back unused cakes. She will reserve sandwich boards. (Completed)
ACTION: Jenae will draft a note requesting donated funds from individuals and/or depts. (In progress)
- We will accept whatever donations departments are willing to give.
- April 2 deadline for submission of prizes. Money should go to Cindy for p-card purchased gift certificates. Gift items should go to Mary’s office. Students need not be present to win. They will be entered using the Student Employment roster.
ACTION: Julie has contacted President Rosenberg to see if he is able to make an appearance at the reception.
She will follow up and keep SEAC posted.
ACTION: Jenae will follow up to see whether Dean’s Convocation organizers are aware that we plan to award SEOTY separately this year.[Mary and Cindy both made contact with Karla. As soon as the award is made, Mary will let her know; she will include it in the program for the Dean’s Convo. We will push to continue to have our student recognized as the others are at this event.]
Student Employee of the Year (SEOTY) Progress & Celebration Planning – Mary
