  1. Call to order
  2. Approval of the agenda
  3. Approval of the minutes
  4. Announcements
    • Fran will not be at the next meeting.
  5. Dean's Office

    This was a working meeting of the Council so the Dean's office was not present. Dean Greenwood did, however, stop by at the beginning of the meeting to provide some information to the Council.

    • No budget guidelines have come forward to college as yet
    • The Dean's search is well underway
  6. Old Business – Awards Documents

    The various working groups had completed descriptions of the awards and cover sheets for each award. These had been distributed to the members via email prior to this meeting. Three tasks remained as today's Council business: examine the descriptions for each award, examine the cover sheets, and examine the instructions for packets.

    • Award Descriptions
      • These were tightened up. The new junior faculty research award was made parallel to the outstanding research award. The teaching award was changed to teaching innovation. The advising award was discussed but not completed.
    • Cover Sheets
      • Descriptions of the awards were agreed upon by the Council.
        1. Outlined what each award was recognizing
        2. Self-nomination option included for all
      • The names of various awards were changed.
        1. Outstanding Research changed to Significant Research Award
        2. Outstanding Faculty changed to STAR Award
        3. New Faculty Research changed to Rising STAR Award
        4. Outstanding Teacher changed to Innovative Teaching Award
        5. Faculty Career Award remained the same
        6. Outstanding Service changed to Superior Service Award
        7. Outstanding Advising Award remained the same
    • Instructions
      • Materials to be included were itemized
      • Page limits were indicated for each award
      • Materials required in PDF format
      • Materials to be submitted to Chair of the Council (rather than Dean's Office). This resulted from discussion between the Council members and Steve Langsner who indicated that since the Council would be acting as the selection committee, there would be little reason for the files to come to his office first.

    The council completed all revisions. Fran Hagstrom will make the changes on the documents. These will then be sent to Chair Merry Moiseichik who will arrange for review by the Dean. Once all have been approved, the materials will be sent to Dianne Stout who will then distribute them to the faculty.

  7. The next meeting of the Council will be February 18. This will be a general session that will include reports from the Dean's office. Fran will not be present at this meeting so Merry will arrange for a note-taker.

Meeting adjourned at 3:30 p.m.

Minutes respectfully submitted by Fran Hagstrom, Chair-Elect
