Announcements

Brian Ledwell:  Presented the template for academic department advising webpages (wp). Content based on Council discussion of early fall meeting. Template can be used or can use current department wp design and include this information. Strous suggested filling in the template with an actual department so an actual model exists. Jones volunteered Criminal Justice.  Suggested that Freeman distribute email explanation and link to Criminal Justice advising wp to department chairs, program directors and program assistants. Initially target COLS and CON. COBA and COEHS have wps with this information already, and just need to add links.

Freeman: Distribute campus em to dept. chairs, program dir, and PAs about webpage resource and timeline.
