2CUL TSI Administrative Team Meeting, with Assessment & HR liaisons -- July 2, 2013
Attending: Gail Anderson, Nisa Bakkalbasi, Kate Harcourt, Zsuzsa Koltay, Jim LeBlanc, Xin Li, Carla Mezic, Lyndsi Prignon, Bob Wolven
Agenda: Review of "Building a 2CUL culture in the integrated technical services operation"
- Kate, Jim, Xin, and Bob summarized the "middle-out" approach and progress of the TSI Steering Committee and Working Groups thusfar. Xin reminded us that we will need to expand our examination of 2CUL culture beyond TSI. Bob noted that the stakes for our unique middle-out model are high: others will be monitoring our approach and outcome with great interest. We talked about what we learned from the more top-down approaches used for TSI at Kenyon College and Denison University and at the Five Colleges.
- We began discussion of the role of our respective HR and assessment groups in integrating the 2CUL mission, vision, goals, and values into the everyday thinking of all staff within the two institutions -- especially, but not exclusively in technical services -- and assessing that "cultural" integration.
