Cox, Executive Assistant to the President, University of Memphis.

Every November, a team of SCUP leaders meet in Ann Arbor to review the many concurrent session and workshop proposals, as well as invited session suggestions, and select the sessions best suited to provide a comprehensive set of learning experiences for SCUP members at the following year's conference. Prior to this meeting, every proposal was reviewed by several SCUP members who were part of a team of 70-80 members of one of the SCUP academies. The selection weekend is heavily informed by the numerical ratings of the reviewers.

There are many more proposals, up to 5x as many, as can be accepted. Many very highly rated sessions are not accepted due to the need to present a balanced, integrated program. The photo above was taken Saturday morning, after the team had already made a pass through all the proposals. The task that morning was to review the whole and see which proposals not yet accepted would best complete the program.

Below, Jake Julia, Associate Vice President, Change Management, Associate Provost for Academic Initiatives, Northwestern University watches as SCUP staffer Kathy Benton (right) and SCUP president John Ruffo, of WRNS Studio (kneeling) work on charting potential session content. In the far background, SCUP staffer Kate Hanson manages the data projection and proposals spreadsheets and database.
