emails from Cynthia Smith on the mentoring program.  The committee members
agreed that this is a very worthwhile project and the suggested guidelines
and lists of mentoring topics look good.  Jerry will develop a one-page
information sheet and sign-up form for the program and email to the
committee members.  He asked for edits to be returned by noon Friday.  He
will send the edited draft to Cynthia and Lorry Suehiro on Friday
afternoon.  Leilani stated that she strongly supports having the program
in place and match-ups made by the end of the semester so that people who
will be around this summer and want, can begin to work together.

4. Jerry said that the next meeting maybe another joint one with the Staff
Development Committee to make mentoring matches.  No specific date or time
was set.  They will be determined by the progress of the mentoring
program.  He also stated that a Faculty Development End of Year Report
will be due and asked each member to submit a short letter or memo by May
10th highlighting the year's Faculty Development activities and offering
suggestions for improvement.

Open Discussion

1. Alan Uyehara stated the Mike Jennings and Tom Mikulski recently
presented two different computer grade books to the faculty of Tech 1.  He
suggested that presenting this to all of the HCC faculty would be
worthwhile and that this would be a good Faculty Development activity.
Jerry said he would contact Mike and Ski and, if they are willing, set-up
a workshop for this.

Professional Development Awards

1. Leilani was dismissed because she had submitted a request for
Professional Development funding.  The remaining members discussed how to
award the $7141 left from the $10,000 given by the Provost and the College
for faculty professional development.  Funding decisions were made based
on the applications that had been received.  Results of these awards are
available upon request.
