Here are the notes from the Tuesday, July 26, 2016, meeting:
- Kudos were shared.
- Linda welcomed Jeff Montoya, Information Security Engineer. She announced that there is one new job posting for a technical events specialist. The instructional technologist: multimedia lab support committee met to discuss their recommendations for a finalist. Matt will be making the final decision soon. The database administrator Skype interviews will be held in the next week or so. The GIS tech director position has closed, and the search committee will be formed shortly.
- Brian shared the new ITS:Division organizational chart. Several factors went in to creating the new chart including feedback from two ITS: focus groups, the leadership team, and individuals within and outside of ITS:; the Modern Think workplace survey results; and the impact of the library renovation and innovation at CC on ITS:. The new org chart will go into effect August 1. As part of the reorganization, an ITS: think tank group will be formed. ITS: team members will rotate on and off this group to help make decisions and generate ideas. The first meeting of the group will be held in September.
- Brian spoke about the Quad Program, initiated by the presidents at the Air Force Academy, Pikes Peak Community College, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs and Colorado College to keep young alumni in the area and to support innovation. The program is funded by a grant from El Pomar, and Jacob Eichengreen has been hired to direct the program. He will start in August and, at this time, be a Colorado College employee reporting to Brian.
- Brian also gave an update on Innovation@CC. Fundraising continues, and the institute will remain in the Morreale Carriage House for now. Brian is working to get the academic side more involved.
