CITO Update
TJ Moore asked Mike about the Lite Center. Mike informed the committee the tour has been set for Wednesday, January 9. The committee will meet at Facilities at 1:00pm to leave, for arrival at the Lite Center in Lafayette, LA by 2:30pm. Mike said he would schedule a van for the trip.

Mike said the Dell computers will be ordered on Monday, 12/17/07. He said he does not have a final cost, but it will be significantly less than what is on the web even with the imaging. The machines will not be set up until the start of the semester.

Mike stated he will put something together on paper and do flyers regarding the Dial-up after the holidays and the information will be available to the students when they return from break.

Mike informed the committee, the inventory is done for the year and there was only one item not found on the TASC inventory list, which consists of about 5-million dollars.

Finally, Mike said the Portal will not go live on the first day of the semester because it is not ready. Mike anticipates a hard push to get the word out and said we are very close but the software has been difficult because it is the newest version and there are bugs to work thru. He said it will happen starting in the summer and there will be training available for the students.

Mike concluded by saying he has given a few people a call about the ‘green’ idea, but he has not gotten a response yet.

Mike informed the committee he has a few proposals from the ‘Other’ Departments available if anyone wanted to take one and review during the break.
