  1. Workload, Morale, and Quality of Life California Institute of Technology 2007 Student-Faculty Conference

  2. Building on Past Recommendations… • 2003/2005 Committees • TQFR • Lunch hours for campus offices • Healthier food choices in C-Store, CDS • Non-clashing exams/sets during midterms • Attempts to get a handle on unit data • REGIS • Stewardship Committee

  3. 2006 Exit Survey… • 70% satisfied with employment opportunities • 66% would come to Caltech again • 58% would recommend it to a student like themselves

  4. 2006 Exit Survey… • Less than half satisfied with quality of advising process, especially before choosing their major • In 2005 Faculty Survey, a significant number of faculty felt they were not informed enough on how to advise.

  5. This year’s committee • Student/Faculty Interactions • ARC is setting up student faculty lunches on a once a term basis • ASCIT has ample funds for this, but for one reason or another they are largely unused. • Suggested to institute advisor-student lunches (possibly using ASCIT funding) on a once-a-term basis • Also, propose MOSH/ASCIT funded faculty lunches in the houses

  6. This year’s committee • Student/Faculty Interactions • Faculty Guide website is operational, does a lot to inform • A student-led portion of the faculty orientation might be useful as well • Highlight role of student option reps as complement to advisors

  7. This year’s committee • Athletic uniting • Athletic Department is looking into how sports teams are united in relation to PE classes • Suggested survey of student-athletes to gather uniting data

  8. This year’s committee • Counseling and tutoring - Services are not as well publicized as they could be. - Advisor should have these resources at hand to suggest to student

  9. Upcoming developments • Admissions is forming a task force to explore possibly introducing partially holistic methods of evaluation of applicants
