1. Report on selection
of NDSU Featured Woman for Website: Magel
reported that she had used mini-tab to randomly select ten women out
of the list provided by Holbrook at the last meeting with the exception
of those women who were not tenure-track or tenured.
Those present agreed with this method
to produce names of women whom we could introduce on the ADVANCE website
as “Featured Women.” The nine names were read. Magel will
have Holbrook check on each of the names with respect to the following
criteria: 1) having been employed at NDSU for three or more years; 2)
having been employed in good standing and not likely to leave during
or after the coming year.
After Holbrook finishes her checks,
Kay Sizer will notify the top five women and begin collecting material
for the website
2. Report on Web Page development
: Slobin reported that Thuy Dang who designed the NDSU ADVANCE homepage
will be leaving for Vietnam by the middle of August. Slobin will meet
with Dang and Nancy Lilleberg to upload the finished website materials.
(This meeting has been arranged for Wednesday, July 21)
Slobin will also contact a graduate
student, Bhawna Ratula, to continue and maintain the website. A request
for $1500 has been sent to the Provost’s office to provide a gift
of $500 Dang for her generous work and to pay a stipend to the graduate
student for maintain the site.
3. Report on the June 18 Rocky Mountain
Dean’s Conference: McCullagh, White and Slobin reported that
the Power Point presentation of the NDSU Women survey data was well
received and generated lively discussion. Of special note were the attendees’
interest in seeing the data, the consistent showing on women’s
higher stress, and discussion of institutional change versus changing
women’s behavior.
4. Planing for the Chairs’ Orientation
on August 17: McCullagh will contact RS Krishnan to confirm time
allotment, panel members, and session name. McCullagh, Magel, and White

determined.
