Spring Program

Program proposals:

Nancy anonymized and distributed program proposals. After review and discussion the following proposals were chosen for the program:

1. Building Partnerships around Student Needs
2. Learning Alliances for Students’ Academic Success
3. Collaborations with Faculty: Reaching Outside of the Classroom
4. Bridging Learning Communities with Scratch and Makey Makey

• It was also decided that we should request presenters to include best practices or explain how what they did is generalizable to other libraries.
• Presenters will be contacted by March 10th

Student poster – only one person has submitted a proposal so far. If we can’t get more, we will cancel the poster program. Nancy said it is ok for students to be in undergrad programs. Ellie will check with an undergrad lib student in their library.  

Agenda:

• Nancy shared a  Google doc, “Program Description and Schedule” for discussion including drafts of agenda, program title, description, etc. This is a working document.
• Registration to begin at 10 a.m. which allows more travel time to get to Muhlenberg.
• Goal is to have keynote + 4 presentations + discussion at the end. We may provide questions/topics for the tables.
• Nancy will email Board requesting feedback when Google doc is updated with Event Title, Event Description suggestions.
