Update to previous cycle's plan for continuous improvement

Goal 2: Greek Life/Objective 2 - Continue to assess areas for improvement in our Greek office and community and seek out professionals and leaders that can address these areas (Not formally assessed last year)

Goal 3: Leadership Skills - 
Not Applicable (not assessed last year)


Plan for continuous improvement Goal 1: Parents' Association - We have reached our desired objective and will assess a new objective for the upcoming year.

Goal 2: Greek Life/Objective 1 - There was an increase in community service and philanthropy section of STAR even with the deficit in service since it is still a 9 % increase when combining those areas.  Therefore, we do not have any further plans for continuous improvement at the movement and are satisfied with our current results.  The standards for the Service and Philanthropy portions have been raised encouraging a culture of giving. 

Goal 2: Greek Life/Objective 2 - Students will be sought out to create focus groups that allow the collegians to voice their opinions on what types of trainings and workshops should be provided.  An opportunity for educational leadership training is also being vetted as a future possibility to enhance leader’s ability to address risk management and other issues that may present themselves throughout the years.

Goal 3: Leadership Skills -  We have met our desired goal and will assess a new objective next year.
