David Conn" Sender: trad-l Discussion List From: "W. David Conn" Subject: Steve Gilbert's Visit To: Multiple recipients of list TRAD-L As you know, Steve will meet with members of the steering committee and subcommittees in the President's Board Room in Burruss from 1-3 on Dec 12. Given his national perspective, I have asked him to give a few opening remarks (maybe 10 minutes or so) on Virginia Tech's position relative to other comparable institutions of higher education, with some specifics on leading institutions and what they are doing (and also something on how we know how well they are doing, i.e., on assessment). We would then like to give the subcommittee chairs (on behalf of their subcommittees) an opportunity to lead about 10 minutes each of questions and answers. For this purpose, we hope that subcommittee members will provide input (i.e., questions) in advance to their chairs. Hopefully, there will be more than enough time left over for general discussion. We'll play it by ear! Steve's public presentation at 5 in 1045 Pamplin will have the title ""Certificates, Chips and Sweatshirts." Please attend yourselves and encourage your colleagues to do so as well. For those who cannot come, we are hoping that both sessions will be video-recorded. Don't forget the presentation tomorrow (Thursday, Dec 5) by Tom Head, John Moore, and David Taylor at 3:30 in the DBHCC. *********************************************************** W.
