Meeting
Meeting starts at 1:00 PM
Members discuss how to get people, students, and faculty involved in the pilot program of the QEP. Members attempt to figure out if the instructors for the beginning of the QEP should be an open call or selected faculty members to teach in the pilot program. Members also try to project the number of students that could participate from each academic department.
It ultimately decided that two different academic departments should participate in the pilot program.
Members show an overview of the number of finances being spent on the QEP, grants, staff, etc.
