| As a Teaching Learning Center (TLC) Advisory Board
member, volunteer, or Departmental Liaison, you are expected to attend
all TLC Advisory Board meetings, and committee meetings called by
the chair(s) of the committee you join. All Board members, Departmental
Liaisons, and volunteers are also expected to attend at least three
events sponsored each semester by the TLC.
Program Committee
Plan, implement and solicit for interdisciplinary programs, and
events of general interest to faculty and staff. Act as host/facilitator
at events sponsored by the TLC that do not fall under the responsibilities
of another committee. Get buildings and grounds to tidy the room
before and after events. Distribute the participant attendance sheet
(and evaluations). Collect the completed information and any materials
pertaining to the presentations and submit it to the Director(s).
Publications Committee
Plan, implement and facilitate Publications Day. Solicit and edit
articles for Faculty Focus, the TLC newsletter. Work on the layout
and design of Faculty Focus. Submit the initial draft to the TLC
Director(s). Get the approval of the Dean of Academic Affairs, and
request duplication and college-wide distribution. Work with the
Technology Committee on a webpage containing information about the
TLC and the activities it sponsors.
Publicity Committee
Recruit Departmental Liaisons. To enhance college-wide participation
at TLC events and activities, as much as possible, avoid recruiting
TLC Advisory Board members to serve as Departmental Liaisons. Plan,
implement, and facilitate the TLC Open House. Design and disseminate
flyers campus-wide using services of reprographics and Lotus Notes,
Departmental Liaisons, the TLC Advisory Board and volunteers to
promote activities sponsored by the TLC. Prior to each event, post
the flyers throughout the college. A few days before each event
send additional correspondence/flyers to faculty/staff as reminders,
particularly to TLC Board members, volunteers, and Departmental
Liaisons. Notify the Media Center to advertise events on the closed
circuit monitor. The secretary of the TLC is an ex officio member
of this committee.
Resources Committee
Maintain TLC archives (mission statement, minutes, Faculty Focus,
flyers, presentations, attendance list, and so on) and manage the
operations of the TLC library. Maintain and improve the appearance
of the TLC. Catalog and file articles, pamphlets, brochures, books,
audio and videotapes. Solicit faculty publications and articles
for the TLC library and make recommendations for resources to order
for the library. Publish an updated list of all TLC materials. Keep
current periodicals in order. Notify Board members when older periodicals
are available for personal use. Discard unwanted issues.
Technology Committee
Develop, update, and maintain the TLC website. Plan and implement
Technology Day. Solicit, plan, and facilitate presentations by Technology
Grant Awardees. Offer workshops to the faculty and staff on the
educational uses of technology, with the intent to enrich the classroom
experiences of BMCC students through enhanced teaching. This may
involve collaborating with other entities at the college that are
involved in technology. Workshops may be software specific, or may
deal with applications of technology in the traditional classroom
(creating websites, browsing the Internet to gather information
form libraries and electronic media, and disseminating information
through personal and institutional websites) or may explore asynchronous
modes of distance learning.
Grants Committee
Solicit, plan, and facilitate presentations by Faculty Development
Grant Awardees. Solicit for grants to fund TLC activities. Collaborate
with the Office of Grants and Developments to organize grants workshops
for faculty and staff.
Correspondence Committee
Send out thank you letters to all TLC participants (attendees, presenters,
liaisons, volunteers, and Board members). Collaborate with all TLC
committees and Co-Directors to deal with TLC correspondence and
news releases. Plan, implement, and facilitate the Faculty Recognition
Day events which includes recognition of TLC Board members, volunteers,
and Departmental Liaisons.
Bylaws Committee
The committee is responsible for updating and developing the TLC
bylaws. It is charged with the task of conducting all TLC elections
as indicated in the bylaws. This includes the college wide call
for elections for all TLC offices, setting the date, overseeing
the nominations and selections of candidates, and announcing the
new officers to the college.
