Drew Furedi's email dated August 7th...

Hi Everyone:

This is a quick reminder about our third working group meeting set for this Saturday (8/11) from 9 to 11 am. The meeting will be held in ECC 1862, which is on the first floor of University Hall here at LMU (that's the same building as the previous meetings). For directions to University Hall, please visit www.lmu.edu/maps. University Hall is the first building on LMU Drive, when entering campus from Lincoln.

Coming off the elevators, you will be headed to the right, and there will be signs directing you to the meeting location.

In terms of an agenda for the morning, we will be hearing short reports from each Research Team, we'll look at some of the data collected together, and we'll spend time discussing the "Definitions of Excellence" worksheet. We will also have a discussion about next steps.

I have received some, but not all, of the worksheets from working group members. Thank you to those who have sent them back in. If you have not yet returned your definitions of excellence worksheet, please email it as soon as possible so we capture your thoughts now -- and that way have a better foundation to start our discussion about this at the meeting. I have attached a copy of the template for those who might need it.

Thank you again for your commitment to the ongoing conversation and all your work this summer so far!

Drew
