Review priorities to promote and improve awareness of academic staff roles on campus:

         1)         Update on SHOWCASE

We were able to view first drafts of a poster for SHOWCASE that the Interns had already created. Discussion and feedback were provided.

Interns would like to include photos on the poster, so trying to find a source of photos: contact Donna Silver, University Communications-digital photo archives.

SHOWCASE emphasis is to show a process or how a problem is addressed

The group discussed Word Cloud - shared ideas and sources

 

March 8^th is the deadline for submitting a draft of the poster to SHOWCASE

NEXT STEPS: Blair will send out an electronic draft of the poster to the committee members for more feedback. The Interns can accept and incorporate feedback at their discretion. If time allows the Interns will circulate a second draft for feedback to the committee or it can be discussed at our March 16^th meeting.

Presentation date for SHOWCASE is March 27^th.

         2)         Review branding project - status update and determine next steps

Interns identified target markets to begin branding project for – Academic staff, students, Faculty (or UW community)

A 4^th target market was suggested to include the “community” of Wisconsin

The group decided it was important to keep this to a manageable number of target markets – pick 2 for this semester for instance

The Interns can create a list for future Interns to work on

NEXT STEPS: The Interns will pick which two target markets they will work on this semester in order to develop something tangible as well as they will have a phase 2 outline written up for future Interns.

 

         3)         Discuss plans to create monthly articles on academic staff that can be featured on Inside UW-Madison

a.      Discuss students creating the framework for this spring semester 2012

b.      Consider steps to take to sustain the monthly articles 

c.      What else?
