Meeting minutes 11-21-13

• Met in classroom from 12:30-1:45
• Discussed possible solutions for presentation
•  
• 3 possible solutions discussed 
• One solution proposed was to re-vamp the current orientation offered to transfer students.  Students would become familiar to the campus.  Then the transfer students would get split into groups.  One group would be for commuting transfer students.  The other group would be living on campus transfer students.
• The second solution is an extension of the first. Once the initial orientation, transfer students would be assigned  to a  mentor.  This mentor would take them on a tour of the campus and also answer any questions the student has.  The mentor would be there throughout the semester for the transfer student.  It would also allow the student to meet other transfer students within that group.
• The third solution is an orientation based on team building.  It will consist of a full day in which transfer students get to know one another.  Its an interactive based orientation.
•  
• Next step:  Each group member will be responsible for research about solutions.
• Next Meeting: Tuesday, December 3rd at 7:30am, Thursday, December 5th     (Will collaborate before meeting on google docs)
