Bev would like to have the co-chairs rehearse their presentations next week after Keith has revised the PowerPoint.

Mike submitted blurbs that will be included in the report that highlight contributions from faculty, staff and students.  Karen has read the report and provided information on continuity as well as making sure the report reads with one voice.

Bev drafted an introduction to the self-study that highlights some of the major changes that have occurred in areas such as administration, budgets, etc.  An addendum is planned that will discuss the new strategic plan and any other major changes not mentioned in the report.
