Sharon Saulmon from Rose State reported on two projects from last year. One was the state wide student online survey results. It was determined a summary of the results will be shared with the chair of the Student Advisory Board. It was also determined the survey will be done again in the Spring. The other project was the summary of the Academic Library Survey (previously known as IPEDS). It was determined OCALD wishes to continue compiling the Oklahoma results of this survey.
