Updates from Sub Teams:

Communication: Aida submitted the following report:
My action items to get the quote and send a reminder has already been done. As for the rebranding of the Scott’s modules. We thought of two concepts.
-          First concept is “i-Count” which comes from Tri-County Technical College. We thought of having each letter stand for something.
·         i: maybe initiative or involved
·         C: Community, Commitment, Consistency or Care
·         O: Opportunity
·         U: Unifying or unified
·         N: nurture
·         T: team or transform from the transformative experience we are promoting throughout the College.
-          The second concept is “STRIVE” which comes from Tri-County. For example; “STRIVE for Excellence”.
I would like to please know the opinion of the rest of the SET committee and if they prefer one over the other.
Recognition: Laura reported the Recognition sub-team is meeting next Friday, May 17.  They will be working on next steps.  Laura stated suggestions to review were revisiting Lunch and Learn sessions and the idea of a TCTC family day/field day or a Christmas dinner on campus to include family.  Discussion took place regarding a family day.  Possibly a cookout with family activities/games, etc.  Laura’s group will discuss and she will report back to the SET group.

Measurement: Scott sent the following report: The final recommendation from the iCARE survey project:

·         Student-facing offices are spaces on-campus where students come to meet with employees or to receive information.
·         All student-facing offices are advised to have a student service plan in-place. This plan should clarify:
o   expectations for wearing name badges and ID badges in the office
o   expectations for greeting students in the space who appear lost or in need of assistance
o   and expectations for facilitating student referrals to other offices
·         All student-facing offices are advised to review this plan either annually or upon 30%+ employee turnover.
