Agreements:
1) The overarching ("meta-") theme of Workshop #6 will be "The Engaged
Institution" - care will be taken to insure that this is understood to encompass: the
initiating of relationships, partnerships, lines of service and communication by the
institution(s); the institution(s)'s openness and responsiveness to same from others; the
institution(s)'s experiences in "internal" engagement of its various
constituencies. It was further agreed
that the subordinate themes:
- Civic Responsibility
- Power
- Leadership (Models and Skills)
- Inter-Institutional Collaboration (added as a result of the conference call)
appropriately "fit" under the umbrella of the meta-theme and will be woven
through every workshop experience, be it presentation, conversation, artistic expression
or explicit experience Any onsite experiences with Evergreen University should be informed
by the above as well.
2) Evergreen University has introduced education innovations in a context significantly
different from (some might say "in stark contrast to") a land grant institution.
Opportunities will be provided and care taken to support workshop participants' gleaning
learnings from Evergreen that apply to their home insitutional settings.
3) Tentative outlines requesting reactions/revisions for prior workshops appear to have
precluded invention and limited the Projects' sense of ownership. With that in mind,
conference call participants agreed that the proposed agenda that will be posted on the
LINC webpage by the last week of April will be understood to be "proposed" and a
call for responsibility taking in design, convening, and delivery of particular
segments/topics/time slots. The proposed workshop agenda will reflect thoughts that
emerged during the Planning meeting that followed Workshop #4 and this conference call. A
document that accompanies this Conference Call Summary will describe what individuals and
Project teams would need to know/do/provide when they take responsibility for a) Designing
b) Convening c) Delivering workshop content.
4) Consistent with Workshop #5's meta-theme and in an effort to find ways
for a variety of intentional change initiatives to be integrated and mutually reinforcing
(FSPE, Presidents' Commission), it was agreed that Workshop #5 should reference and expand
upon the intentions of the Presidents' Commission regarding "Access and
Engagement." A request to explore the possibility of inviting the CEO's to Workshop
#6 was noted and time ran out before the topic could be thoroughly discussed. What form
further engagement with the CEO's might take - with particular focus on Workshop #6 -
might be an appropriate
topic for discussion using this LINC website. Even in the briefest of exchanges during the
conference call it was apparent there was not consensus.
5) Suggestions concerning the formatting and sequencing of "getting acquainted,"
"home team" time, et al were noted and will be reflected in the detailed
proposed agenda that will be crafted and made available for comment on this LINC website
by the last of April.
