Basic Organization

Core Organizers
Program Director (Peter Taylor), Program Assistant (Jeremy Szteiter), Graduate Assistant (Tara Tetzlaff), and 1-3 other volunteers drawn from the CCT faculty, alums, and wider CCT community (= current students, regular faculty members, part-time faculty members, alums, and other allies/associates of CCT).
(Program assistant = person who works very part-time for CCT but stay with us longer than the average graduate assistant. Funds have been secured for Jeremy Szteiter to fill this position thru June 09.)

The core group

• * makes sure that monthly activities (Sept-June) are organized, publicized, and reviewed afterwards (with notes posted on the wiki);
• * nurtures any interest expressed by attendees in leading an activity sometime in the future and supports the person in making this happen;
• * brings into the core organizing group any regular attendees who are ready to make a commitment to serve in the group; and
• * solicits feedback and ideas for activities from other members of the CCT community.

In time, the core group may extend its work so that it also

• * trains members of the CCT community to host "talkshoe" interviews or recorded sessions that are readily available to listen to as podcasts;
• * makes the "ning" an active site for sharing of news and activities from alums and other members of the CCT community;
• * coaches alum outreach in their local and professional communities in order to:
  • develop CCT as one model of adult/ mid-career education, and
  • publicize CCT so as to attract potential students;
• * draws active attendees into informal advisory group meetings to help keep the CCT faculty abreast of new developments and connected to the activities of the Network.

As support for the network activities, the Program will endeavor to

• * keep the CCT Directory up to date and available to members of the CCT Community.
