	E.	L. Riedle will be in charge of the next two Executive Council Meetings since R. Shultz will be out

	no interest.

	October 15.  The Undergraduate Teaching and Learning Grant Program and the UW System PK-16 Initiative 
	are due October 26.  These grants are due to the Dean's Office by the dates listed.
2.	Minutes from May 4, 2001 were approved as distributed.
3.	Student Success Center is located where ACES is (new collection of student services).  This office would
    like to do a short presentation at any Department Meeting.  Contact Becky Peters if your interested.
4.	Placement Services and eRecuiting - Placement is willing to come and share information on eRecruiting at
    any Department Meeting.  If interested, please contact them.
5.	Group Advertisement - R. Shultz said that each Department who is going to be recruiting faculty should 
    get all necessary paper work done by October 15 and to Rita Rukashaza by October 22.  She will be 
	submitting information in the November Chronicle of Higher Education.  Any other newspaper/magazine each
	Department is responsible for submitting advertisements.
6.	Highlighted Faculty - R. Shultz mentioned he wasn't very clear in email sent out to Chairs on what he 
    was looking for.  R. Schumacher is looking for five outstanding faculty from each College along with 
    comments about that faculty from student(s).  Discussion followed on how to handle this.  It was 
	determined that each Department should submit one faculty name along with a quote from a student to the 
	Dean no later than noon, Monday, September 10.  This will used as a marketing tool on the web.
7.	Relationship with Companies - R. Shultz said that several companies have mentioned to him that they are 
    fearful that contacts between the Departments and their companies are disappearing.  With faculty 
	retiring and new faculty coming in the relationships are disappearing.  R. Shultz would like each 
	Department to appointment new faculty to go visit company contacts and to rebuild these relationships.  
	They need personal contact.  Also, faculty should visit the Career Fair, which is Thursday, September 
	27, and also have lunch with recruiters when they are here interviewing for co-ops and/or permanent 
	positions.
8.	Completion of Degree Program Change Form - L. Riedle is receiving forms that are not complete or 
    justifications are not clear.  It is each Chair's responsibility to make sure that these forms are 
	completed when faculty submit to chairs.  After the Chair signs, he/she should make sure that the 
	student's folder accompanies the form.  L. Riedle stated that we will be starting a system showing name,
	where form is going, date, returned, etc.  Honors courses have been a problem and R. Shultz will 
	follow-up on this.
9.	Voting Rights within a Department - L. Riedle mentioned that each Department needs to establish   
    guidelines for voting between the faculty and academic staff.  A decision should be made during the 
	first department meeting on who can vote and this should be stated in their minutes.
10.	Emergency Procedures - L. Riedle said that each Department should review with their faculty and staff 
    any emergency procedures.  It should be noted that the alarm system in this building is not connected 
	anywhere else.  It will just ring within the building.  So, phone calls need to be made if necessary.
Other Business:
1.	J. Krogman has been asked by D. Hanten, Registrar's Office, to have Engineering Physics, Chemistry, and 
    Mathematics look at exam times before submitting class schedules.  There are problems with exam groups 
	overlapping.
2.	R. Shultz said that when the fall 2002 schedules go out he will allocate rooms to each Department and 
    they will be responsible for scheduling their classes.
3.	J. Krogman asked how we wanted to handle the Scholarship Reception.  Do we want to continue in the same 
    format, discontinue, or what?  R. Shultz said we need to discuss this more at length, but in the 
	meantime pick a date in late October.  J. Krogman mentioned either Wednesday, October 24 or Thursday, 
	October 25.  This needs to be an agenda item for next meeting.
4.	R. Shultz mentioned that the EMS Dinner will be in October sometime and should not conflict with the  
    Scholarship Banquet.
5.	R. Shultz said that exemplary faculty nominations should be turned into the Dean's Office no later than 
    Friday, September 7 if you haven't done so already.
