History

Role Clarity

dwhite299 — 2024-11-07 15:33:14 UTC

The current Ed Team is not given clarity via the MOU regarding roles, accountability, etc.

Other programs

dwhite299 — 2024-11-07 15:34:47 UTC

Lightweight copycat programs exist and require less time, less investment and less emotional input from fellows. This means our program must be extra good.

Leadership

dferguson59 — 2024-11-07 16:08:03 UTC

Includes board support.

Increasing impact

dferguson59 — 2024-11-07 16:11:05 UTC

Increased capacity will enable further program reach and partnering to make an even bigger difference in CA ag.

University challenges

dferguson59 — 2024-11-07 16:14:25 UTC

Dean bandwidth is stretched, impacting the time/attention we should expect.

Refreshing strategy and/or goals

dferguson59 — 2024-11-07 16:16:10 UTC

This will require reviewing and updating structure too.

Unique

2024-11-12 20:55:36 UTC

The only Ag Leadership program to be partnered with multiple campuses

Possibly connecting with new campuses

2024-11-12 21:04:57 UTC

We're continuously improving the educational program, striving toward excellence and assessing needs and opportunities.

2024-11-12 21:57:01 UTC

University partnership is generally a win-win for CALF and universities.

2024-11-12 21:58:47 UTC

Dean's Advisory Committee isn't meeting, multiple transitions at Universities have lessened awareness.

2024-11-12 22:00:16 UTC

Changes to the model will need to be thoughtfully approached to preserve partnerships.

2024-11-12 22:01:28 UTC

New structure that takes into account the realities of being a Dean today. In the past we also had core faculty that weren't at the partner universities.

2024-11-12 22:04:51 UTC

Core Faculty Variability

2024-11-12 22:55:30 UTC

Capacity and skillset of Core Faculty varies widely across the partner campuses - Dean's do the appointing, but Foundation has very little say in the process.
