Business 2) Talented IT high school students
and counselor ISTeC day at CSU. This recruitment
strategy is designed to recruit the brightest and
most promising high school students by inviting
them and their counselors/parents to an IS&T
day at CSU. Discussion was held on engaging our
industry partners with this effort as well. The
event will engage students through guest speakers,
tours of CSU IS&T related programs, meeting
with students and faculty and having some activities
for our student guests. Talk surrounded also having
a culminating activity ending in a nice dinner with
faculty, industry representatives, counselors, students
and possibly their parents. Discussion of the planning
progress of the high school student and counselor
event at CSU was discussed. Michael reported that
the leadership of the Colorado School Counselors
Association and several faculty members at CSU who
are active members have been contacted to serve
on the task force to plan this event. Professor
Rich Feller is discussing the potential to link
our ISTeC activity with a professional development
project for counselors he is working on. Scott Webb
has volunteered to work with industry involved in
this event and planning. The committee felt that
enough synergy has developed around this project
that a task force could continue the work and report
to the EAC. The formation of a task force was approved. 3) Members were updated on the Occupational Therapy workshop on Adaptive Technology scheduled for April, 5, 2004. The workshop is on schedule and logistics are being coordinated through faculty in the Department of Occupational therapy. 4) Members were reminded that if they will not be attending the EAC meeting, they are asked to identify a member from their College to represent that College at each EAC meeting.

Michael will bring more details after contacting Cisco about how we can proceed and assess how we can work together. The item was moved to further information for next meeting. 3) Pete Seel discussed the need
for establishing a curricular forum for issues related
to IS&T. Pete cited as an example the need to
establish some common guidelines for web development
courses across campus and discuss ways to meet growing
demand across all colleges. The committee agreed
that the need to have a task force examine this
issue and report back to committee was needed. Task
