MEETING MINUTES

Regents Room – Chapman Hall 2nd Floor
Facilitator: Rita Cheng
I. Welcome and Introductions - Provost
Cheng
- Provost Cheng welcomed everyone and asked for
introductions
- Chancellor Santiago was introduced.
II. Chancellor’s Message –
Chancellor Santiago
- Chancellor Santiago expressed his appreciation
for the work of the Council, and encouraged all members to continue
to discuss important issues and strategies to improve campus climate,
as well as the retention of a diverse and talented group of students,
faculty, and staff.
III. Thought question: Provost Cheng
- Provost Cheng introduced staff from the offices
of Recruitment and Outreach, Enrollment Services, and Multicultural
Student Services. A short presentation by the staff on campus recruitment
activities took place. Several handouts prepared from the Provost’s
Enrollment Management Team and the Equity Scorecard Team provided
background information to address the thought question:
Where are we in our mission to secure a diversified
student population, and what are ideas that may be helpful to include
in our tool kit?
The group engaged in a lengthy discussion regarding
strategies to involve the broader university community in recruitment
and outreach activities. Ideas generated included:
- Community engagement to advocate for UWM
- Contacts with teachers and school governance
board members
- Connecting to community networks, ministries,
and churches
- Personal contacts
- Participating in workshops on college
The group agreed that the discussion was very useful
for both the Council members and the staff engaged in recruitment
and admission for the campus. The group agreed to continue open discussions
on this important and complex issue at future meetings.
At the end of the discussion, a member of the Council
asked for a similar discussion focused on retention at a future meeting.
IV. Wrap Up/Summary of action items
- Next Council meeting date will be scheduled
during Spring semester
