         2)         Update on staff interviews

a.      Questions are finalized

b.      Interviews scheduled to begin

c.      First interview candidates include

d.      What steps need to be taken to sustain this activity?

 

• Lindsey invited 4 AS for first round of interviews
• Lindsey completed the first interview – this week
• As we move forward we should think about establishing some diversity criteria for the interviewees such as, (gender, ethnicity, roles, # of years, research/teaching/service, etc)
• Lindsey has the other 3 interviews scheduled. We plan to add 1 more for this semester yet to round out our “sampling” this semester
• Lindsey will write a draft of the first interview and send the story and interview template over to Peter so he can share it with edit/writers at UW Communications.
• She will also send Peter a timeline so he can share with John and Dennis.
• Sustainability plan/suggestion, recruit interns again next year and have this as part of their “workload”
• Peter will follow up on figuring out how to get photos/artwork for the profiles

 

         3)                Discuss search for academic staff articles to post on the AS website

a.      How’s this going?

b.      How can we improve upon this?

 

• Committee members are not finding stories from the other sources right now, but will continue to search sources.
• Additional sources being reviewed now include Engineering Notes from Dean Percy – Alice and Sonya will review the Education newsletter.
• Diane will continue to supply stories from CALS.

 

         4)                Development of an Academic Staff logo

a.      Can we work on this yet this semester with SHOWCASE finishing up this month?

 

• Cover this next month when Pati is back.

 

         5)                How to recruit interns for 2012 – 2013?

a.      Who can be point on this?

 

• How it worked this semester is that Greg approached English 318 instructor – Mary Florenzia (which is taught spring semester) to recruit interns and he also recruited from a personal contacts he had.
• Greg will invite Mary to our upcoming meeting in April or May to look at possibilities for next academic year 2012 – 2013.
• It appears that a committee can serve as an Intern opportunity for English 318 students as long someone can provide oversight/evaluation for the students. Greg did this for our current interns. THANK YOU GREG!
• Depending on the task we want future Interns to work on we can see which committee member could logically provide the oversight and evaluation necessary for the Interns.
