Linda led the meeting.
Linda led a discussion about what the team wants from division meetings. Ideas included:
- Having team members interview each other about their roles and then present a short summary about what each person does at the January division meeting. Prior to the next division meeting, team members will draw names and spend 10-15 minutes getting to know each other. If someone is uncomfortable with presenting before the group, Linda offered to read their summary.
- Having more frequent social gatherings.
- Reserving a table at Rastall’s once a month where team members can gather for an informal lunch.
- Reserving the ITS: conference room during the lunch hour, so team members who bring their own lunch can eat together
- Sharing sensitive information
- Learning new skills
- Brainstorming solutions to issues or generating ideas
- Sharing updates from each group, particularly what’s coming up in the next few months that might affect others’ work
Linda invited everyone to provide agenda topics or upcoming changes for future meetings.
Linda shared that the ISO search committee has conducted phone interviews. Three candidates are being invited to campus during the half block. The Data Warehouse Administrator search was failed. Vish will rewrite the job description, and the job will be reposted after the first of the year.
Joseph announced that Dave McCann resigned. Joseph thanked the A/V team members for stepping in and assuming additional responsibilities. They are looking to restructure the A/V team, possibly outsourcing video production and hiring a full-time events person who handles video.
Joseph also mentioned horizontal teams. One will be formed soon to look at the phone system.
Linda discussed winter break coverage. We will function in our normal after-hours support system. All systems are expected to be up and running at all times during break. Linda recommended that everyone print the ITS: phone directory to have in their offices and take home prior to break. It is located in the i: drive under the folder “PhoneNumbers.”
All day maintenance will occur on January 2. The new firewall is scheduled to be installed the week of December 28. If this date changes, a notification will be sent.
Kudos were shared.
