Dr. Steve Cady provided a broad overview of the agenda for the meeting. He reminded attendees that the purpose of the table chat is to allow everyone an opportunity to think about the topic quietly for a few moments and then share with one another. Table groups then were asked to introduce themselves and respond to this question: “In terms of College Assemblies, this is what we need to accomplish to make it a worthwhile use of my time…” Commonalities as well as unique items surfaced in the table chats were shared with the entire group.
