Brief Committee/Chapter Description
The research committee shall identify, investigate and initiate appropriate research on topics germane to advancing the understanding and performance of association personnel and programs relative to fulfilling the missions of TRiO programs and recommend the application of those findings to WESTOP and affiliate operations.
Committee /Chapter Updates:
1. We decided to shift the focus of research to promote others to help us do it including graduate students and professors at institutions we work at. Based on the large volume of data collected by TRiO programs and what COE gives as regional summary having staff do additional work does not seem reasonable. Some ideas that have been generated to accomplish include:
- Research strand at annual conference.
- Poster session at annual conference
- Ask Tom Mortenson to present research ideas at annual conference
Action Items:
None
