announced on the CTL website and in the email he sends out
to faculty. (Fall)

training as part of RPT, perhaps under Service. (Winter)

Provide an Advising Binder to give to faculty who attend
the workshops
- Lorraine Donegan is willing to share her ideas from the
binder she creates for her faculty advisors. (Create during
Fall)

Instead of doing faculty focus groups, utilize faculty who
attend the workshops to get feedback on the kind of information
they need and how they wish to receive it.
- Leave time at end of workshop to poll attendees
- What was “muddiest point” made in the presentation?
- What “burning questions” do you have that
we haven’t answered?
- Also might want to develop a short survey(before Fall
CTL program)
•
Develop “Advising Tip of the Month” to display
on CTL website
- Talk with Joe Grimes about the feasibility (Fall)
- Develop tips (Fall and Winter)
- Link the answer to the advising@calpoly.edu website so
faculty are automatically directed to it. (by mid Winter)

For Fall Conference 2006, get on the schedule a one hour
meeting for new faculty with their respective advising office
staff.

(Joe Grimes?) to discuss. (Fall continuing into winter)
