SEHD Student Committee

Meeting Minutes

3/4/24

 

Members: Caron Westland, Joshua Martin, Jennifer Camacho Taylor, Sofia Chaparro, Jim Christensen, Ron Tzur, Elena Sandoval-Lucero

 

Guest: Antwan Jefferson

Discussion with Antwan on Student Surveys

 

  1. Three surveys go out regularly to students:
    1. Exit survey for graduating students
    2. SEHD Climate Survey
    3. Social Justice Scale (teacher education only)
  2. Other committees are looking at contributing updates, DEI specifically.
  3. They are summative and support program changes after students have completed their degrees.
  4. The committee discussed where we can best influence formative evaluation.
  5. Beyond expanding the charge of the student committee, which would take a change in the by-laws, our options to continue our focus on improving student feedback are:
    1. Recommend survey question revisions to the office of assessment.
    2. Recommend FCQ revisions. The SEHD can add up to 5 additional questions.
    3. Create opportunities for IRC faculty who are not full-time to have professional development on feedback.
    4. Shed light and offer resources in small, but meaningful ways (i.e., suggest a syllabus statement on feedback.
  6. The committee members will reflect on these options and make a decision on next steps at the April meeting.

  1. The committee will submit Luz Moreno to Julia and UCOMM as another student to highlight for university graduation stories.
  2. Sofia will create the certificates again this semester and will notify the students that they can pick them up at the Student Services front desk.
  3. Elena will handle the honor cords again this semester. Rebecca Schell asked that she reach out to ask the students to pick them up at the Student Services front desk first. Those who can’t make it to campus to pick them up before commencement can pick them up at the student check-in table at graduation.

First-Generation Stoles for Commencement

  1. We have 20 reserved for spring commencement.
  2. Caron will request funds from the Dean if we need more than that.

 

Planning for Scholarship Review

  1. The process will be the same as last year.
  2. The essay question prompt will be the same.
  3. Each committee member will review a group of applications.
  4. Rubric for review
    1. 5 = Well-crafted answer to the scholarship question
    2. 4 = Well-crafted answer, but missing information
    3. 3= Basic answer, lacks creativity
