Staff Meeting Minutes

August 23, 2005

In Attendance: Rick Sheets, Richard Morales, Johnna Anderson, Alison Livingston, Pam Komarek, Dani Pierce

These items represent major points that were discussed. The entire staff meeting was recorded on iPod for future reference.

Change of Time for Future Staff Meetings

Rick asked for feedback on changes to the staff meeting time. It was agreed that moving the time from 2 pm to 2:30 pm would be advantageous for all parties. Future staff meetings will be held on Tuesdays from 2:30 t0 3:30 pm.

PASS

PASS time went surprising smoothly Monday and Tuesday. Johnna suggested that using two open tabs in the Log Listing while logging out students during the "rush" and alternating between the two was an efficient way of quickly removing students from TutorTrac

Database

It was noted that the most up-to-date information regarding Tutor information (address, phones, etc) is in TutorTrac. The database will be updated from the information in TutorTrac. Richard will put together a DL from emails in TutorTrac.

Tutor Training

Rick is looking at putting together new tutor training. CRLA requires 10 hours for certification, we will probably be providing more than required. Training will be Friday and Saturdays and utilize videos and DVDs with learning logs.

LSC Bookmarks

Bookmarks are complete - Johnna will continue to provide updated bookmarks to feature items such as ESL Conversation Groups and study tips. It was decided that Calculator Workshop bookmarks should be printed on yellow cardstock, ESL on cherry, and study tips on lilac.

Faculty Resource Room

Rick, Richard, Johnna and Pam will be the primary people for dealing with Faculty Resource Room issues (paper supply, computer issues, etc If a faculty member needs to stay past the LSC closing time, they should be given instructions to ensure the front door locks behind them and the lights are off as they leave, and they should notify security that they are leaving. If we are leaving a faculty member in the LSC past closing hours, we should go through the regular closing routine and notify security that a faculty member (give the name) is remaining in the building.

Lost Items, Messages for Tutors, etc.

Items left in the LSC will be kept at the front desk until close of business. At that time, any unclaimed items are turned over to security.
Messages for tutors should be written on the message pad at the front desk and the top copy should be placed in the tutor's inbox in the break room.
Dani brought up the need for a common log-book at the front desk. Johnna offered to supply a small spiral notebook to serve that purpose.
