SACON Meeting, March 26th, 2003 at 3:30 PM, CON Rm. 301

Faculty Student Forum held on Wednesday, March 26th.
Meeting called to order by Meega Wells at 3:30 promptly.

Meeting Discussion:

In the meeting students and faculty discussed:

  • The scholarship deadline is extended to April 7th. Please don't let this money not be used. Its there to help the students with their college tuition expenses.
  • Survey analysis was brought to the attention of the faculty regarding the BSN program and the MSN program. Tish McNally represented the undergraduate students and Becky Dockstatter represented the graduate student body in regards to comments brought forth in the student survey.
  • Some of the highlights of this discussion were curriculum issues, leadership of the College of Nursing, concerns of some classes not being appropriately structured or tailored to meet the learners requirements, and too many group presentations or little time to prepare for them.
  • Students and Faculty that attended discussed these issues into fair enough detail.
    Also, discussion of networking of graduate students with undergraduate students to help the transition to graduate level.

Thank you for all who attended. Your feedback was well appreciated.
Meeting adjourned at 4:35.
