Good grief! There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel still seems awfully long from my vantage point.

It’s all hands on deck for reviewing narratives and editing narratives and supporting documents. Summer syllabi are still hovering around 90% - but 2nd session has just recently begun for summer, so it’s not as bad as it might seem on the surface. (Hey, some of the fall syllabi are already in - like 4% or so!) Ben and Justin (our wonderful grad students) are tagging documents for the dox library and for the reports. Dianne is still pulling transcripts for grad students. Org charts. TA Orientation. Faculty orientation. Sheesh.

AT6 was opened for FY08 within the last few days. That’s a good thing (and a bad thing). It means folks who are already seriously planning FY08 can proceed while some folks are still trying to finalize their reports for FY07 with analysis of data and evaluation of strengths and weaknesses in outcomes.

We canned the mock review (happy happy, joy joy); that means we just keep writing and editing and cleaning and scrubbing and ….

Oh yes, that SACS QEP thing is the 22nd through 25th. Sibert, Kane, Metcalf, Montgomery, and Coleman.  Wow, what a group!  Sibert leads the QEP.  Kane is our tech guru who keeps building programs that keep everyone moving along at a clip.  Metcalf will shift some duties to include supporting QEP.  Montgomery is currently involved in the UTeach initiative, and there are some interesting potential tie-ins with the QEP, and Coleman remains out guy with the data that helped get us where we are in QEP planning.

And now it’s kinda official:  We’re doing some kind of review with our SACS rep from Atlanta on 14 August!  (Gotta look at that principle list again to see if I’m missing something.)
