strong interest [At Bascom] in communicating with Wisconsin Businesses. Survey revealed most businesses either didn't relate to UW at all or had a negative impression.
Ellen
....a lot of jobs could be done by dividing them up.
We need a master list of Alliance members, broken down by unit.
When have exploration stations coming up, we need to know who can do them. Peyton was looking for some for state fair.
We need instructions on how to do an Exploration Station, a one page thing ...a paper handout. [doesn't think web page helpful]
By breaking tasks down, and farming them out, we will have more ownership...
Don't know all the talents...of people in the group.
Renee
could we meet more formally, form a center an actual organization or structure..
Dan Lauffer
My question about Science Alliance --is it targeted to public, formal, informal, college outreach.?
Subcommittees on public outreach.
Jane Harris Cramer
On planning grant, we're trying to schedule a meeting, when Tom is Back, who the core group would be..
Tricia
Science.wisc.edu --- site is very spare at this point...for science alliance...is there is a tiny bit of who we are, a calendar, a special section about K-12 education issues.
No special way to enter it. Trying to avoid duplicate websites. Enter into University Calendar. No separate free standing calendar. Adapting University Calendar, working towards terminology that accurately reflects science events.
Jane
Need to understand the "call system" to enter on university calendar. What are the links.
Ellen
Tried to do the template....not a problem with Nick, not user friendly for science, for what we do, target audience, student faculty staff or both., category, doesn't fit
Tricia
Calendar came out of the arts institute.
