We would like to see some general themes in your report, but don’t miss anything. So, be sure to mention everything so that those rare but good ideas don’t get lost. • Have someone else at the meeting record the information • See the questions on the handout • If there is a group of people who like an idea, have them get together to refine it. • Some typical answers concern financial aid and the national perspective of Baylor • These meetings shouldn’t focus too much specifically on your department, so it is ok to discuss them, but don’t get too specific • There are going to be two graduate students on the strategic themes committee.
