We discussed some things we could do to improve our computing environment based on the undergraduate survey we recently completed. Short term possibilities include:
We talked about assigning faculty to some of these issues.
For each of these issues, there are a number of things to investigate. For example, in the foyer, issues could include:
Longer term we need to consider:
We discussed improvements to the wireless network: Clark and Greg allocated 1000 addresses to WiFi instead of 255. Went from 95% to 25% to 30% usage. Maybe we could resurvey undergrads and see if service is better in the building.
Christophe discussed the survey in CS 236, and this started a brainstorming session with students. They want to start a student advising committee. Hopefully something will come of this. We will email the undergrads to let them know we are organizing a committee of students. Ask for a short paragraph for why. Tell us their standing. The email to students should include:
Greg and Klark will organize a set of students who left CS and went into IT to let us know why and what IT is doing.
