What Color Are You Most Like? —Terri Waddell- Motter GS
Looking into some equipment needs for the presenters. Will check with assessment center. Will also check with Dr. Roy at IUPUI. Terri Waddell-Motter works in the assessment center.
Clarification regarding CEUs: ASR is focused on students for total immersion experience. Interpreters have not come because they feel they don't belong, and they need to get CEUs for certification. So the board decided to provide CEUs to get interpreters to come back.
Need to get someone to be the "cop" to catch people who use their voices.
Sleeping arrangement- back in Koob/Fair Hall KRC sleeping on gym floor. Pod area for workshops. Do not have second floor lounge kitchen. Will use coolers for drink.
