The end of week three brought the first half of our network assessment to a close. Each campus has been visited by members of the network team and are beginning to send in final assessment reports.

Follow-up visits are scheduled for:

Follow-up visits will consist of a meeting with campus network reps, completing a short follow-up worksheet, and returning the data to project managers at UNC-GA.

Project managers distributed the following documents during week three:

- An executive summary describing week two activities

Based on campus reports, we expect to have all of the assessments completed by Friday April 17. Follow-up visits will be completed during the next two weeks at a time convenient for the campuses and the consultant teams.

In addition to the weekly summaries there will be a videoconference to discuss the network assessment project on April 15th from 11:45 – 1:30 (this is the monthly CAUSE directors meeting time). We have also started posting network assessment documents on the web at: http://www.ga.unc.edu/its/netstudy/
