(Pfeiffer responded that Academic Affairs will pay for the connections.) McKee is continuing his work on the Georgia Aviation project, especially with respect to the advisory committee and curriculum.

7. Customer Service Rock:
Hamrick noted the customer service committee is collaborating with TCOM's David Dayton, who received a grant for a prototype software. Hamrick hopes to use this on the SPSU website for students. It uses key words for students to ask questions. Dayton's class will do the web development. There's also a Problem Center being developed. It will help students find answers to questions and directions during orientation and registration days.
