1. Division logo - “Howling Wolf”

  • This design has been endorsed by Dr. Stafford and the Small Staff.
  • Creative Services should have final versions available in the next few weeks.
  • The Group decided that there is value in unveiling this at the End of Year program. Some suggestions include to following, which Leslie will share with Dr. Stafford and Tracey Ray:
    • Play the "howling wolf" sound when unveiled on screen
    • Have PGC incorporate into the event
    • Purchase and display a banner
    • Purchase a few t-shirts with logo and give out as door prizes
    • Be sure to have Dr. Stafford describe why we need a logo, how it will be used, etc.
    • Hand out placards (similar to Project SAFE placards) that employees can post in their office areas
    • Create some mystery and excitement by sending out teasers - show a box with a question mark
  • There is great interest in providing lapel pins to all in the Division. However, the cost may be prohibitive. It is possible that University Dining and University Housing can help fund this.
  • In addition to unveiling this at the End of Year program, the logo needs to be publicized in other ways:
    • Bulletin article
    • link on the university home page
    • a letter from Dr. Stafford to Division staff and others in the university, with samples attached

2. Spring and Summer Schedule

  • Remaining meetings include:
    • April 11 – lots to discuss with logo, web, IDEA Grants
    • April 25 – lots to discuss with logo, web, IDEA Grants
    • May 9 – canceled because folks will be too busy with end of semester, and several have conflicts
    • June and July - all regular meetings canceled due to Orientation and vacation conflicts
    • August - restart meetings (dates/times to be determined)
    • In the interim - Keep in touch with NetForum; each member can post a topic and respond to others

3. Retreat

  • Approximately 1/2 day
  • June 16 is the date; Leslie will confirm exact time and location soon
  • Some discussion as to whether to invite one or two others from Tech Staff (LANTechs and Webmasters) and/or faculty (Music and ROTC in addition to Peggy). Consensus is that its not a good fit for this meeting, but that we should definitely find ways to include these groups in DETAG projects. One idea is to find a willing/interested representative from the Tech STaff to serve with DETAG permanently.
  • Possible agenda items
    • 2003-2004 meeting schedule – frequency, etc
    • list and prioritize DETAG projects for 2003-2004
    • Assess what we’ve accomplished so far

3. LANTech and Webmaster meeting

  • Reactions to this first meeting were very good, from both DETAG and the participants.
  • Next meetings and trainings have been scheduled.
  • A DETAG update should be provided at each meeting, to make clear that DETAG is looking for a collaborative patnership, rather than a DETAG forcing its opinion and decisions on the Tech Staff.
  • Martha Pierce (Student Conduct) and Nicholl Simpson (Multicultural Student Affairs) will take the lead on crafting some standard duties for the Tech staff.
  • Agendas for upcoming trainings and meetings to be posted on DETAG's NetForum for comment.
4. Career Center Project
  • Beverly Marchi shared an update on a project from the Career Center to create an online version of the "Developing Job Skills" services that they provide. More information can provided at the web site.

5. Updates for NetForum and/or future meeting
