Succeeding Invitations Coming Next Week


Invitations to the Succeeding With Students learning exercise 
in November will be mailed to faculty and staff the week of 
Oct. 2.

The exercise is intended to give all ISU employees a feel for 
the big picture in higher education and spur discussion about 
how Iowa State can better serve students. It will bring 
faculty and staff together in small groups for four hours of 
guided discussion.

"A number of companies have used this exercise to get all 
employees -- not just management -- involved in coming up 
with ideas that can help their organizations grow," said 
Steve Richardson, chair of the Succeeding With Students 
steering committee and director of the Center for Teaching 
Excellence. 

"The more faculty and staff who participate, the more 
successful we will be. Every employee of Iowa State has 
special insights and opinions that are valuable."

Individuals should check with their departmental secretaries 
or supervisors to find out how to register for Succeeding 
With Students sessions.

Faculty and staff volunteers still are needed to lead the 
discussion groups. To volunteer, contact Vicky Thorland-
Oster, 4-9443, or e-mail: vlthorl@iastate.edu. 

More information on the Succeeding with Students program is 
available on the World Wide Web.
