Interns for Fall Semester 2012

Hannah Curley and Ashly Baccus

Present at meeting: Ashly, Hannah, Mark, Peter, Laura, Diane, Jen and Alice

Agenda:

       1)      Report from Bob on the HR redesign subcommittee findings/progress, etc

·      Unfortunately Bob had a last minute schedule conflict so was unable to attend the meeting

·      He sent an email to the committee providing a brief update

       2)      Update on AS profiles- Ashly and Hannah

·      Ashly and Hannah, will conduct 5 interviews of AS from various depts. And in various roles

·      Jen D is sending Ashly and Hannah the name and contact info for the 5^th interview - John Stevenson

·      Ashly and Hannah will contact John S to schedule his interview

·      Ashly and Hannah will prepare profiles as they complete the interviews and will send to the committee for review and feedback

·      Peter and Alice will give final review and submit to Secretaries office for posting on the AS website

       3)      Report out from Ashly and Hannah regard website

This led to a healthy discussion by the entire group – identifying the following:

·      Need to make it more organized

·      In repeated cases navigation requires a few clicks to get to articles/information

·      Need to keep in mind how to make the upkeep and updating of the site sustainable

·      Has to be a responsive web design

·      Make sure the template is usable

·      Need to be thinking forward on how to read the site on a tablet/phone

·      What can we do with the resources and structure we have

·      One option is we could create a landing page and then send users on to other links e.g. send on to benefits office, etc

·      Ashly and Hannah will create a set of written recommendations and include ideas on how to sustain and update the site e.g have interns review site and fix broken links etc

o   Include screen shots in the review to provide an example

o   Include websites that they do recommend as good models or URL’s as good examples etc.

·      Ashly and Hannah will present website recommendations at the December meeting 

       4)      Discuss whether or not to conduct a survey and if so define the purpose and scope 

·      Seems to soon to figure this out

·      Should wait to hear what Jeff Shockler has to say next month

·      May want to have some focus groups first to develop and identify the content areas

·      Hypothetical:

o   If we want to do a survey in April the back end of this would take ~6 weeks prep

o   Typical survey like this stays open ~3 weeks

o   If survey is given by mid-April we can analyze results finals week

o   So we would need to get a plan in place at the ASCC February meeting and nail down the focus of the survey in order to follow this hypothetical timeline

 

Discussed recruiting Interns for spring semester:

·      Ashly and Hannah may make recommendations

·      Peter will talk to Bob Schwoch for ideas – Ashly and Hannah’s advisor

·      Could also talk to Deb Pierce - Ashly’s Intern faculty sponsor for ideas
