Annual Report of the Career Education Committee Page 2 July 30, 1982 VII. List of committee accomplishments including recommendations made to agencies other than the Faculty Senate. The committee continued to work toward the goal of publishing a career profiles booklet. Approximately 90 profiles were reviewed and edited and an organizational format for the booklet was determined. The career profiles booklet has been prepared for publication and funds for publication have been authorized. The manuscript was submitted to the University Print Shop during the summer of 1982. Although the com- mittee, including the Chairman of the Faculty as an ex-officio member, had done everything possible to obtain career profiles for all programs of all departments, the status of the manuscript is uncertain at this time. Citation of the resolution numbers that originated with the committee. None Proposals and/or business to. be carried over to next year. The committee will need to follow up on the publication of the Career Profiles and see it through to completion. The committee plans, upon publication of the career profiles booklet, to establish and manage a system for continual updating of each career profile. Evaluation of the committee A. - Structure: Satisfactory B. Duties: The charge of the Commi thes continues to be rather broad and ambiguous. C.. Function: Satisfactory D. Personnel: Satisfactory Suggestions for improving the effectiveness of the committee The committee has worked quite effectively. It is the strong feeling of the committee, however, that much time and effort have been wasted wait- ing for funding for publication of the career profiles. With the majority of career profiles gathered over one year ago, changes in career areas will soon render the profiles inaccurate and without value. William Hoots, Chairman _ David Powers, Secretary
