Tom also suggested a "college-wide retreat" during the intersession to accomplish college business.

5. Meeting Time - The committee discussed possibly moving our meeting start time from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. Tom will check with a few absent committee members to determine if this is feasible, but it appears that the 12:30 time is the most workable for most people.
