Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
What is the purpose of, and how can we best utilize the Governance Recommendations Implementation Tracking (GRIT) Report? Thomas - Designed to track recommendations of project teams and recognize all the work accomplished
- Currently in draft form
- Embed in governance system
- Any plans to sustain? PES

What are the key components of the next major stages of our student facing redesign, including “First-term Course Schedules” and “Pathway Communities?” [Attachment will be forthcoming] Thomas - Areas of Interest: People, Culture & Society; Learning & Communication; Arts; Business; Manufacturing, Construction & Transportation; STEM; Health, Human Services & Well Being; Public Service
- Provide personalized, localized support organized by area(s) of interest
- Physical student services support around campus focused on areas of interest; virtual communities
i.e., support center located somewhere in Davies Hall focusing on two areas of interest (People, Culture & Society and Learning & Communication)
- PASS – Pathways, Academic Skills & Services
- Timeline for implementation: goal is to have at least two operational in Spring 2020 to test assumptions with full implementation by Fall 2020
- Will be open and available when students are on campus
- Communication plan to constituency groups?
- Provide all first-year students a first-term schedule utilizing program maps
- Provide high school seniors with default first-term schedule with opt-out approach; incorporate into dual enrollment
- ARC has 5 districts and 30+ high schools

What were some of the key takeaways and how can the college take advantage of what was learned from the free speech workshop that was presented by the General Council at the district office? All Postponed for another meeting
What is ARC's "Advanced Industry" facilities concept, and how is it being considered for inclusion into the ARC facilities master plan? Thomas Greene - Concept designed by team of faculty/administrators when looking at McClellan facility
- Too expensive to pursue at that time
- Movement in Sacramento called Mobility Center – space that brings together venture capital and companies that have idea about advanced transportation
- Goes from ideation to production in very short timeframe
- Highly successful in Germany
- Partners in Sacramento interested in including UCD and CSUS
- Concept shared w/Board of Trustees at October retreat
- Now associated in our facilities master plan
- Will likely hold projects from other Los Rios colleges as well
- New facilities bond measure for District and this facility likely included in that measure
- Frank Kobayashi hosting Tech Ed town hall on October 25 so this and new Tech Ed building need to be connected
- Not just replacing building but re-envisioning for the future;
- Problem – world around tech education has shifted; we are the equivalent of Blockbuster right before Netflix shows up; tech changing so rapidly; employers now have ability to use technology to identify a set of skilled workers they need without using education; community college systems churn too slowly; this facility is flexible and interdisciplinary, can be responsive; if a company is thinking about moving to Sacramento this facility can emulate their production line and train their workforce (our students); workforce also returns to get upskilled (retrained); students interacting with state-of-the-art technology
