Meeting Updates

Dean's KULSS Meeting (next mtg: Feb. 20th):

  • Approved for $1000 budget
  • Suggested we touch base with Lars about doing a Strengths Essentials session as there is grant money leftover to possibly do a session for a limited number.
  • Suggested a session on change management, ClimQual, well-being.
  • If available, Lorraine will do opening remarks. She should be available on Wednesday, March 20th.


Concerns to Bring up to the Dean/Mike: Ask about the difference in tone between the Chancellor's message announcing a flat budget and the Dean’s message that we’re prepping for cuts that could impact personnel.

Staff Development Event

  • Kyle talked to Whitney about doing a session. She'd prefer doing the book binding session led by her, Roberta, and Kyle. They would teach 2 book structures since time is limited to an hour.
  • Julie will contact the Kansas Union to see what rooms are available.
  • Kristin will remove Preserving Personal Collections from the survey and send it out on Monday. Give a 2 week deadline.
  • Kristin will set up a meeting with Lars and Angie about the Strengths Essentials session.

 

Miscellaneous

  • Julie will email members to announce Meredith Huff will now serve as vice-chair. Per the Code, since the position has been vacant for 9 months we have filled this position by appointment rather then through an election.
