CENG Embraces "Access To Excellence"

The College of Engineering embraced the charge of the system-wide "Access to Excellence" planning process and has participated in this CSU based endeavor.

During January and February, each of the six Ad Hoc domain groups met among themselves and subsequently met with college constituencies to develop a response in the format provided to the groups. (These responses are appended below.) Each group was cognizant that their charge was to winnow the responses to a proposition, an action based on that proposition and a few ideas that would enable the implementation of the suggested action.

Each Ad Hoc domain group was comprised of six to seven members, and was chaired by a designee who had the responsibility of building the group, and developing responses in line with the charge to the groups. Each group had representation from faculty, staff, students, administration and a member external to the university. All six groups, and other members of the college community came together for a final vetting of the responses on February 13, 2007. This six-hour, college-wide meeting led to the refinement of the college-based domain responses.
