Good afternoon, everyone.
On behalf of the Transfer Advisory Committee (TAC) I am reaching out to invite you to participate in one of several Focus Groups that will provide feedback on Baccalaureate Degree Plan (BDP) documents and processes.
Purpose: Organize focus groups to provide feedback on Baccalaureate Degree Plan (BDP) documents and processes to the Transfer Advisory Committee (TAC). (NOTE: the information collected will be anonymized to reflect larger themes and encourage honest reflection)
Who: Any UNC System faculty, staff, or administrator who advises students before and/or after transfer from a NC Community College (AA, AS, AAS, AFA, AE, etc.). It is important to include part-time employees, new employees, faculty and staff advisors with all levels of awareness of transfer advising topics.
When & Where: Focus Groups will be facilitated using Zoom during the below dates and times.
* Wednesday, September 21 (9:30am - 11:00am)
* Tuesday, September 27 (1:30pm - 3:00pm)
* Thursday, September 29 (9:30am - 11:00am)
* Thursday, September 29 (2:30pm - 4:00pm)
Time Commitment: Focus Groups participants will only participate in one session for a total commitment of 90 minutes.
Preparation: Participants will be provided a very brief overview prior to the Focus Group, however no preparatory work will be required.
How to Sign Up: Interested participants should provide the following information via email to (me) Eric Fotheringham (emfotheringham(a)northcarolina.edu<mailto:emfotheringham@northcarolina.edu>). You can also contact me with any questions you have.
* Name
* Institution
* Title/Role
* Part-Time or Full-Time
* Email
* Phone
* Years of experience working with advising students
Focus Groups will be limited in size, therefore selected participants ("selections" will occur if we are inundated with volunteers) will receive a confirmation email and Zoom Link by July 18, 2022 (reminders will then be sent closer to the focus group date).
Thank you!
Eric
