CSUF ALS Steering Project:Key Project Milestones

• Campus steering committee meets• Campus website collaboratively developed• Website reviewed by steering committee• Faculty advisory board “road-show”• Trainings to be developed based upon road

show feedback• Revisions to website and posted material

ongoing

CSUF: What’s Working Well

• Shared information from collaborative team = campus website

• “Did you know” campaign• Peer to peer presentations (faculty to faculty within

each college)• “Incentives” for information sessions (snacks)• Key talking points, but no formal presentation• Website used as key support for information sharing• Asking, not assuming, about future training topics• Dedicated and diverse leadership team

CSUF: What’s Not Working as Well as We Would Like

• Peer to peer presentations via open forum• Firm timelines—flexible schedule found to be

beneficial especially when accommodating department meetings

• Student membership on committee unstable• Roadshow faculty may need to defer to committee

experts for specific questions and can’t do so “on the spot”

• How to institutionalize the project website after grant funding ends (webmaster, fact checker, etc.)

CSUF ALS Project: What’s Next?

• Continue information forums• Develop trainings for needs identified at

information forums• Deliver trainings and obtain feedback• Ongoing revisions to website; add live tally for

$$ saved• Continue to evaluate and expand pilot

projects while adding to campus showcase
