  10. OPEN: Resources you know about and believe are widely known by others. SECRET: Resources you may know about, but which you think may be unknown to others. HIDDEN: Resources on campus that you may have heard of, but know very little about. DREAMS OR NEEDED: Resources on campus that you believe are needed

  11. The Process: HoM Meetings Engaging in collaborative inquiry surrounding students’ knowledge and use of available resources. Dialogue broadened from student-only to creating more mindful ways of reaching faculty and staff. Recognizing and nurturing leadership potential of members within our HoM group. Creating a structure/mechanism to make it possible to surface student voices around self-advocacy in both the classroom and on campus.
