Discussion:
Web Page Update
Raoul invited all to review the website and come back with ideas about how
to use the website to publicize. Michelle will announce the website
at the next Classified meeting, and invite everyone to view the WOW! Page
as a work in progress. Jane and Elona want a continuous flow of more
and new ideas - all will be welcomed! Jane noted it is not necessary
to be a classified employee to have a submission to share. Raoul noted
that in his address to the board, he made particular mention of Cornell's
contributions via the website. If you look at many Community Colleges
across the state, it becomes evident that we were used as their template.
The board recognized many other colleges used Cornell's ideas as a springboard
for their own. Cornell shared the gift he was presented by the senate.
Congratulations, Cornell!
