Dean's Advisory Board Committees
While each committee was tasked with coming up with its own specific charter, here is a basic breakdown of what was discussed at the Fall '10 meeting:
Marketing and Media
Rick Schroder (Chair), Graham Garner, Terri Brooks, Randy Earles
This committee has been tasked with researching different social media methods, recommending which ones are best suited to meet the needs of the College and then helping to establish and maintain whatever is decided upon. Options discussed include Facebook, Twitter, CAL webpage, and an online newsletter, but it would be nice to learn about other options out there as well.
Community Relations
Roger Howard (chair), Kelly Purce Braseth, Sharon Price, Ron Hatzenbuehler
This committee was tasked with working on: community outreach, creating a strong CAL presence in the community, cultivating relationships with members of and businesses in the community, and creating a welcoming community for attracting and retaining students.
Physical Assets
Dick Maestas (chair), Anita Brunner, Danny Marona, Jill Collins
The main focus of this committee is fundraising in order to help cover costs associated with finding the College of Arts and Letters a new and more appropriate home.
