Next meeting time will be:
  • Caribou in Stillwater, MN on October 10th at 6:30pm
Group members that attended meeting:
  • Allissa, Amanda, Nichole, Abbie, Haley
Collaborated on an Issue for the UWRF campus
  • Issue:  Transfer students do not get the proper orientation to the campus.  We would like to find solutions to help ease this transition for transfer students.
  • Ideas:  Have several mandatory presentations in which transfer students can choose which one works best for their schedule.  Then break down into smaller groups.  This way they can get a tour of the campus, and get to know other transfer students.   Also, we would like to conduct surveys or interviews asking transfer students how their transition was into the school.  
For next meeting:
  • All group members will post their ideas for explaining what the problem is, specifics on the causes and effects, and why the issue is a concern to UWRF.  
  • We will be using Google Docs to collaborate our ideas until our next group meeting on Oct. 10th
