1. Goals for year
Dr. McIntyre explained that during her annual state of the university address in October 2007, she set out three goals for the year. Those goals included a successful campaign, integrated planning, and the CWU Innovation Park. The group discussed progress of each goal. The campaign is on target to meet the goal. Dr. McIntyre and Dr. Street are working on the integrated planning presentation that the Board of Trustees will see on June 6.
Dr. McIntyre explained that she would like the issues with the Innovation Park resolved this week so the project can move forward. Dr. Quirk reported that the group is meeting today to discuss the issues and will have a report to her by the end of the week.

Freshmen applications are down 63 from this time last year, and transfers applications are down 77 from this time last year. The group discussed several enrollment strategies. Ms. Terrell added that registration for fall is set to re-open after Discover Orientation, but the date could be moved up if the group thinks that´s a good idea.
