— A new dean position was created to oversee the Civil, Global and Professional Opportunities office due to substantial student traffic. The increase has largely been caused by its highly visual location in the Union Building. The dean will build stronger communications with faculty, alumni and employers. When asked if the position is necessary, President Casey cited the type of students DePauw attracts and the cut in the office's staff numbers.
— In conjunction with DePauw's upcoming 175th anniversary, President Casey will recognize 175 distinguished alumni. The faculty will have a role in the nominations, but it was left unclear whether students will have a say.
— Dean of Academic Life Pedar Foss wants faculty and students to brainstorm more effective ways to communicate important deadlines and events to students, specifically content and delivery methods.
— Kate Knaul, director of civic, global and professional opportunities, addressed the change in Winter Term deadlines, saying the amendment was made to distinguish the post-fall break advising week from a separate meeting exclusively for Winter Term conversation. This ensures that advisers will encourage a strong academic component of Winter Term.
