Annual Retreat
We need to start planning our annual retreat; the Assessment Council decided to hold the retreat on Wednesday, June
19th. We meet for the entire day, off campus to discuss plans for next year and to provide a time for education and/or
group collaboration around an effort, decided upon by the Assessment Council. In the past, the retreat time has been
utilized to work on various projects, by having consultants work with our group, information sharing, discussing what’s
next in Higher Education, etc.
The Council discussed the need for us to support & guide the new Director in the fall; this is a huge leadership
challenge for the Assessment Council. A potential topic for discussion at the retreat will be how we intend to orient
the new Director, what topics of discussion we should focus on for the first few Assessment Council meetings, sharing
history and a “task list.” All of this, with the understanding that we need to be flexible in helping this individual grow
and learn; the task list would be like a set of recommendations.
Individuals who expressed interest in forming a planning sub-committee for the retreat include: Daniel Cardenas,
Kayleen Salchenberg, Rick DeBellis, Pat Ketcham, and Maureen Cochran. If anyone else is interested, please get in
touch with Maureen.
Please let Maureen know if you have any dietary restrictions as we will be planning a meal for the day. These are the
restrictions we know of so far:
 We’ll need some vegetarian options; I’ll follow up when planning the menu to see who prefers a vegetarian
option.
 One person in the group can’t have pineapple, guava or mango.
Cake recommendations: no spice cake
