- Picking a chair for the group: Rachel agrees to be the chair.
- Outstanding Graduates for Fall 2020: Rebecca shared that the deadline for outstanding graduate awards for the fall is coming up. Programs received emails last week about the deadline.
- This process needs to be revisited and revised. There are concerns about equity and the fairness of the process. Issues to address: the type and scope of information received about applicants, what happens to students who are nominated and not selected (it is unclear that they are even aware), the time involved in administrating this process.
- Find out from Lori on exactly where last year’s project were left off.
- Opportunity Board: There was a FormStack created for faculty to share opportunities for students. This needs to be promoted to faculty so that they know this exists and where to find it. We may need to further automate the process so that after the FormStack is completed opportunities reach students.
- Rebecca shared the Academic Appeals Process as a reminder: https://education.ucdenver.edu/academic-services/student-resources/academic-appeal-process
- We clarified that there is a student resource webpage: https://education.ucdenver.edu/academic-services/student-resources
