CASI Minutes

Sept 2005

CASI members present: Moira Kelley; Martin Rouse; Miranda McClenaghan; Christina Finet; Antonio Noguera; Katy Duren

1. Miranda McClenaghan was unanimously elected chair. It will be the chair’s responsibility to reserve rooms for meetings, to solicit agenda items, and to distribute agendas to all academic staff prior to each meeting. The chair will assign a CASI member to take minutes of each meeting, and the minutes will be emailed to all academic staff and/or posted to the DCS intranet.

2. CASI meetings will continue to be held on the first Wednesday of each month. The meetings will be 11:00-12:00.

3. Moira Kelley was appointed the CASI liaison to the campus CASI group.

4. The terms and rotation structure of the CASI was altered so that the committee will not be faced with a large turnover of member as it was this year. From now on, all CASI members will serve two-year terms, with two seats rotating off in even years, and three seats rotating off in odd years. The current CASI’s terms are as follows:

Terms expiring Sept 2006
Christina Finet
Moira Kelley

Terms expiring Sept 2007
Miranda McClenaghan
Antonio Noguera
Martin Rouse

5. The CASI discussed possible future goals of CASI. Two major goals were agreed upon:

  • Increase the visibility and value of CASI, primarily by serving as a resource for academic staff. To that end, CASI will establish a CASI page on the Division intranet, which will eventually contain information about DCS CASI’s activities, and provide links to other campus resources of interest to academic staff.
  • Promote lifelong learning internally (or in the memorable words of Christina - “live what we teach”) by promoting and publicizing opportunities for professional development and personal enrichment, both internally and across campus, to DCS academic staff.
