Southeastern SoTL Colloquy

Our planning session began with introductions of the Founders Council members. The items for discussion covered the bylaws and constitution, opportunities that we want to offer through the Southeastern SoTL Colloquy, affiliations that we would like to establish and sustain with other organizations such as CASTL, ISSOTL, and SoTL Commons. We briefly discussed other operational issues such as dues and the possibility of institutional memberships.

We spent most time on discussion of the goals and purposes of the organization and how to implement them. We created a "brainstorming list" on implementation avenues such as campus visits, individual collaborations (I invited everyone to come to the beach!), retreats, and workshops; further development of the Web site, development and sharing of "white papers" on hot topics such as promotion and tenure, IRB processes; and what kinds of files may be public vs. password protected.

In this discussion, we flagged some high vs. low priorities and will proceed with further follow-up on these issues after the conference.
