CTL meeting 9/13

We talked about the upcoming Minimal day (which reminds me, why is it called a minimal day if we have to stay longer? Shouldn't it be called a maximal day?), which is Monday, 9/26. There will be a breakout session run by the counseling center (Utah Futures website) and then another breakout session for blogs and Google docs.

Also, Kenley introduced a form that needs to be filled out be each team each week. Click here for the form. I think it's a good idea. Not because I believe in Big Brother, but because it will help us stay on task and stay productive. It will even e-mail you a copy of what you write so you have the agenda for the next week's meeting.
