The first thing attendees noticed when they arrived for the March 19 College Assembly was that they were not given table numbers for max-mix seating. Instead, each individual was asked to go to one of the tables set up for each of the ten action teams and four standing committees sharing the initial drafts of their PLAN Documents.
President Hayward called the Assembly to order at noon and introduced Sister Sally Marie Bohnett, SND who offered the opening prayer.
Dan Hoppe announced that he and the Distance Education team visited the Youngstown campus in February. During their visit, Dan presented a WEBBIE award to Deb Phillips. For the month of March, Dan presented the WEBBIE award to Rosie Dunlap, long-time on-line instructor in the HCA program at Mercy College.
Dr. Steve Cady and Sister Barbara Davis, SC introduced the process for providing feedback to the action teams and standing committees. Each person had the opportunity to “visit” three tables. One of the co-chairs for each team/committee led the discussion and a recorder captured the main ideas. At the end of the sessions, a representative from each group provided a one sentence “bumper sticker” summarizing the work of the day.
Sister Barbara reminded everyone that all of the PLAN documents have been posted in the Mercy 2020 Course on D2L. The “reply” feature has been activated so individuals are invited to share comments or ideas related to any of the documents. A link has been created for each team/committee.
President Hayward closed the Assembly by thanking everyone for the spirited discussions that took place and encouraged people to continue the conversation via their responses on D2L. Click on the video below to hear Dr. Karen Elliott, C.PP.S. as she shares her reflections on the Assembly.
