1. Alesia’s Job Responsbilities
The Team discussed the distribution of Alesia’s job responsibilities relative to her resignation. Barbara will take responsibility for Nutrition and Food Sciences. Beth will take Animal and Avian Sciences. Sylvia will supervise Stuart and Michael on the NAL grant with Beth working closely with them, and Lori handling the paperwork on the grant. Beth will also become the primary contact for the USAIN national grant. Details on these transitions will be worked out among those involved in separate meetings.

2. IRST Committee
Alesia had been the representative for the Team on IRST. Following consideration, no one on the Team felt able to take on this additional responsibility at this time. Cindy Todd offered to be a liaison for the Team, if necessary. Sylvia will ask Cindy to visit the Team periodically to keep us informed.

3. Rescheduling of Meeting
The Team’s April 6th meeting was scheduled from 10:00-11:30 am which conflicts with a Tea and Information Literacy session that has now been scheduled. The Team agreed to reschedule the meeting so that all could attend the Tea. The meeting has been changed to April 7 from 2:00-3:00 pm in McK 2105 conference room.

4. Round Robin · Barbara mentioned a 3-week online seminar through ACRL, “Assessing Student Learning Outcomes”, from March 1-20 and then again from July 26-August 15. For more information, visit: www.acrl.org/e-learning . An e-mail was sent to all Team members this morning with the announcement.
