Cindy - The start of the semester was running smoothly. Reverse Transfer program is underway. Students may transfer in up to 75% of credits required for their major (was previously 50%). It was initially just for RIC and URI transfer students, however, it has now been extended to

include all colleges/universities. RI Promise scholarship – based on the numbers she saw, there are approximately 1,300 students who have identified/are eligible for the RI Promise scholarship.

Allison – working on a process for reduced course load for their RI Promise students. They are in compliance, however, it cannot be extended beyond the 2 years of eligibility.

Chris – KN campus had all clubs day and a 911 remembrance ceremony. PV had their welcome back day. FL and NE will have theirs next week. They are beginning a Win Big and Get Involved campaign to try to get more students involved in clubs and organizations. The more events a student attends, the better their chance of winning an Echo Dot (Alexa). Students will scan their id at select events throughout the semester, may join a club or organization, or by attendance in athletic events.

Wendy – Back to business as usual. There is a new program in place this semester to begin texting students with communications. It is initially a pilot program. It is being used to send text messages to the RI Promise students. Initially there were 300+ students who had missing documentation. As of today, there are 100+ students.

Michael – New Orientation process was implemented for this Fall semester. There are two on-line modules. The first includes all enrollment steps, i.e., testing, financial aid, etc. The second is tips and ideas for student success. This will remain on-line so students can access it at any time. There is also an in- person orientation, which includes tours, etc. Career Services has a new Career Compass software program for students. The Career Planning Center at KN is now on the 6th floor and will be expanded to be able assist students.

Student Representatives: Natalie – Newport is recruiting Student Government members. They are also looking into a club for sustainability and environmental issues. They will be having a welcome back barbeque for students on Wednesday, which will feature Island flavor foods.

Laurie – Knight campus – All clubs day went well. They had ice cream and each club table had a different ice cream topping so students could go around to each table and speak with the clubs/organizations.

Ivone – Flanagan campus – Having a welcome day on Tuesday; breakfast will be served. It will also include an all clubs day and a raffle.

Becky – Thanking the many volunteers for working the greeter table at the start of classes. There will be various events in early October focusing on Hispanic culture.

Ivone stated that they have sent requests about trying to use the van to take students on trips, however, they never get a response. Michael said he will follow up with Steve Rooney on that.
