Pam Gibellino shared with the
committee the results of an Internet search that she had completed
regarding community college student awards/recognition.
Dawn Stinson shared information that she had received from her
contact at WSU. Chip Hare
shared information about the program at Kirkwood Community College,
including an awards banquet and dance. Ronnie Mayo expressed concern
about including Darke County Campus students in these potential
awards/recognitions as well as campus clubs and activities.
A number of ideas were
generated and expressed as a starting point for recognition:
-
Increase awareness of PTK on
campus
-
Include DCC students in the
process
-
Target potential students
and assist with resume development
-
Consider possibility of 299
class
-
Identify writing and
college-level reading skills
-
Identify beyond-the-college
awards
-
Consider development of
departmental, student worker, and DCC awards
Committee members then
narrowed their focus to three major areas of concentration:
1.
Develop a brochure to be sent with college acceptance
letter—highlight the importance of student activities and financial
aid opportunities through recognition.
2.
Identify students with recognition potential; include faculty
nominations.
3.
Host a Spring Recognition Dinner.
The committee will begin to
identify ways to communicate with faculty concerning their thoughts on
brochures and identification of awards/recognitions available.
Initial contact will begin after the semester break.
Ronnie Mayo will develop an internal committee at DCC to
determine the best way to identify and include DCC students in the
recognition process.
The next meeting will be held
Monday, January 28, at 3:30 p.m. in the Board Room.
