March 2023

Progress

Since our last update, a lot has been taking place. 

• We did an all-college call for volunteers to serve on our year one practice teams, as well as our guiding teams throughout the Moon Shot project.  The Steering Committee worked to determine members for each of the teams, and they have been assembled and are beginning their work.  For a list of team members, click here.
• We've also set the date for our first Moon Shot Convening!  Save the date for April 28, 2023.  The Steering Committee is planning a fantastic morning of events to engage the college in facing the post-covid challenges ahead of us and working collaboratively to support students. An RSVP form for the convening will go out via email in mid-March.  

Next Steps

• Year one practice teams will be collecting data, analyzing it, and working toward providing recommendations on improvements specific to the context of RRCC
• Progress to date will be reported out briefly on Development Day (April 18th) as well as at the Moon Shot Convening on April 28th.
