Bush Grant Meeting

February 16, 2005

Engin reported that the project profiles were e-mail and sent as hard copy to all participants. Permission granted by participants to post on WebCT.

Pam said the portfolio is not a solution, and discussed with the committee Share Point. SharePoint is available, and a private site for the IT group and project participants can be set up. Training will be necessary for participants. Discussion included:

• Who would have access to SharePoint? Log-in access can be given to the people who need it.
• SharePoint - document library for each project, can be set up site for view by IT Core Group and project participants.
• Carol Carrier will need access to the projects - Pam said a long-in can be set up - Carol can give this info to the people that must have access
• Students should receive training for SharePoint to help project participants
• Can put a time-line calendar on SharePoint

Student Employment

• Minh Vo has identified Andrew Anderson to help with his project. Work will begin in May.
• Engin said he would talk with project participants and ask them to identify a student within the week, otherwise the IT core group will find students.

If project participants do not supply a name, an announcement will be put in the Weekly Bulletin, and on the Financial Aid Employment site.

Letter to Project Participants
