=Welcome!= Some members will make a day trip to Clark Community College in the fall to discuss what they have done on their campus with their transitions members. Following in the footsteps of Clark Community College's excellent example, we will look to 1) clarify pathways, 2) Discover student needs/wants 3)See what has been done 4) Discuss what could be done, and 5) build foundations. We will do this by looking at data and places that are insufficiently addressed, surveys of students, and mutually sharing our ideas and expertise in various departments across campus.
 * TRANSITIONS: Creating Clear Pathways (New Faculty Learning Community!) ** Would you like our students to be able to move more easily towards their goals? This community will be based on and inspired by Clark Community College’s model, which was presented at the ALT conference**. We will be looking at ways to increase and ease transitioning students from Basic Studies to credited campus courses and helping the general student population navigate between programs, as well as to build better communication in general between the various departments involved.** This will also benefit our preparation for the upcoming accreditation on campus. **The** **community will consist of staff from across campus, including the library and student services as well as full and part time faculty.**
