3. August Workshop

The workshop will be held on August 26, 27, and 28.

Marty Townsend will present for one day of the three-day workshop.

Please give some thought to the schedule of events and ideas for the workshop before the next WAC Committee meeting.

Along with this discussion, two issues were raised:
1) Must both faculty members of a team-taught WI course be certified for WI?
2) How will the committee deal with students in a WI course who must take the course to fulfill a minor requirement but are not ready for/do not need the course to be WI?

4. The International WAC Conference will be held in Austin, TX on May 28, 29 and 30th. Rich Matthews will attend, as well as another committee member and an additional faculty member not on the committee. Aaron Trautwein and Jacqueline Easley were suggested as possible choices for the non-committee attendee. Jean Preston offered to attend if no other committee member can attend.

The meeting was adjourned at 1:00 p.m. The next meeting will be held on April 9th.
