Student Advisement – In response to Dr. Crawford’s inquiry regarding the re-structuring of student advisement, 1) there was complaint that SEEK advisers were being asked to move to the S building where there is no privacy for counseling with students; 2) members from the Student Advocacy & Support Services Center (SASSC) indicated that they had no idea how the re-structuring of advisement was being executed; 3) the general feeling was that advisement re-structuring was being administratively directed without input from constituents concerned; 4) the consensus was that we all need to collectively decide what is to be done regarding student advisement.
President Crew – The suggestion was reiterated for President Crew to be invited to a PSC meeting to discuss his vision and how we could assist him in carrying it out.
