 Regents Meeting

Commencement

•      We considered three possible options: 1) Do individual college graduations, 2) Stage the ceremony at the soccer field by four diamonds, or 3) Stage the ceremony in our largest parking lot (with limited guests). It was agreed, with one dissent, that we should continue to hold Commencement at the World Arena at this time.

•      It was recommended by the group that we begin a tradition of having college receptions a day or two before Commencement, on campus, for graduates and their families and the faculty and deans. This would be a great opportunity to connect the graduates and their families with the campus and give them an opportunity to interact with their instructors.  These receptions would be in lieu of the receptions after Commencement. Although we could distribute that portion of the Commencement budget currently designated to the receptions to the academic units and help publicize this event through our mailings to graduates, the responsibility for actually organizing and staffing this event should rest with the individual college or school through their Commencement liaison.

•      Two System P&T members

Other Items

•      Remember approaching deadline for Open Enrollment for benefits and flex plans

•      Considering procedures for two terms term as President & other bylaws issues.

•      Positive changes in Sponsored Programs. I will invite David Schmidt to speak at our next meeting.
