PPG

This page lists the concerns raised by PPG students about the program and flow of information

Notes from 11/1/2010 phone call

Allison Heck, Cindy Lintz, Jeff Walker, Fanny Carlet, Beth Offenbacker
 * Need a program or mechanism that allows students and faculty to interact about key program elements (perhaps similar to the CPAP DMP program).
 * Potential for a new student organization that serves PPG PhD students that provides for socializing on their own on a periodic basis.
 * Include resources for planning as a link on the new UAP website. Beth will work with Marc on this.
 * Create a way for current PPG students to connect with alumni.
 * Provide social space and a library with a printer for PPG students in the 1021 building, perhaps on the third floor when it's remodeled
 * Keep updated orientation slide show on the website, with information about parking, social space, library with printer, etc. Beth will work on this and provide to Marc when updates are needed.
 * Find out about requirement for PPG exam that's listed in the current PPG handbook (although no longer required).
 * Try to have mandatory classes held later than 1:30pm (there is a class this semester that occurs at that time), this isn't convenient for most students who are part-time due to full-time jobs.
 * Put the RSS feed from Scholar when the announcement site is up there so it appears on the UAP website with the other feeds. Beth will work with Marc on this.
 * When will the spring schedule be available? Students need to make arrangements to register and need time to coordinate with family and work commitments. Beth will email Myriam and Sandy to touch base on this.
 * Beth will send a list of the different list serves and how to join once it's available
 * Consider having professors post their syllabi during course registration so that students can review them to see if they want to register for that class
