    Outcome: President will set up a meeting with Dr. Oudenhoven and student trustee to review proposal with David Ruttle.

    Outcome: Senior Leadership Team will support the sponsorship of one hole. President will again support sponsorship of a single hole.

    Outcome: Dr. Oudenhoven and Joyce Coleman will ask PPD Committee to explore creative, temporary options for window coverage in the cafeteria.

  2. Master Plan Update— Dr. Ryan Smith will chair the programming committee for administrative offices, institutional advancement offices and the Board Room.
