CASI Minutes

December 2007

Present: Katy, Alan, Doug, Christina, Annette, Sarah

Updates:

Sarah Stilp replaces Amanda Hammatt in ASSC doing special group admissions as well as backup on ISIS.

Jim C, James M, Bobbie and Katy will meet this week about core functionality of financial reports from dean's perspective. Timetracking is a major missing piece of information. Concern with accessibility of information and reports. This relates to the kind of financial information we will be able to get out of the new G3 system.

CASI Goal:

Our decision was to work on new employee orientation information. Some common pieces of information people thought would be helpful included: LAN structure, e-mail how-tos, staff bios, department profiles, benefits, university policies. We need also to focus on what information is division-specific, unit-specific and job specific.

We decided to prepare a welcome letter and packet for Marv to incude the following: letter, summary of DCS staff survey results on what is needed in the division for good communication (such as a regular e-newsletter similar to what has been done at UWEX), as well as the DCS business plan, unit summaries and staff bios. Katy and Christina offered to compile information with input from other CASI members.

Next meeting: January 9, 10:30 am, 320 Middleton Bldg.
