Workgroup : Outreach and Education

Outreach and Education serves as the communications and support workgroup for the larger Commission. During academic year, 2005–2006, Outreach and Education initiated several large projects.

1. Conducted a usability study and began re-designing the CSW website in collaboration with the Learning Technologies Center.
2. Developed specific scoring criteria for the review of mini-grants which improved consistency in the review process. 13 very competitive applications were received, and 46% (n = 6) of the grants were funded.
3. Hosted two general meetings for the entire commission that took the form of a "caucus." During these meetings planning for specific future initiatives were discussed. A written brief was prepared with specific recommendations that have been implemented during this academic year.

For the current year, Outreach and Education has four main priorities that include (1) finalization of CSW website, (2) planning for several events (e.g., vision awards; general meetings), (3) mini-grants, and (4) developing CSW visibility plans.
