Channel 6 on campus Friday
Channel 6 from New Orleans will be broadcasting its popular morning show live
from the Southeastern campus Friday Oct. 4 at the Student Union Park. The
Student Union Park will be set up with tables and chairs cafe style. Live portions of
the show will alternate back and forth between campus and the New Orleans
studio. During our live segments, we will have short performances by our
Southeastern Jazz Ensemble and the cast from Side By Side By Sondheim. In
addition, the show's host will interview people in the audience. It is a very casual
atmosphere.
We hope you can be there to represent the University. Since the show goes on air
at 5:30 a.m., you should be there between 5 a.m. and 5:15 a.m. That's an early
time, but you ll have a great time. Refreshments will be served.
Thanks.

Surveys, assessments reminder
President Clausen reminds all academic and non-academic units and offices that all
surveys and assessments must be coordinated through the University's Office of
Institutional Research & Assessment. Data-based decision-making for strategic
planning and accountability requires reliable, accurate data based on sound
methods, said President Clausen. We must take advantage of the expertise and
resources available here on our campus.
According to Dr. Beatrice Baldwin, assistant vice president for planning, re-
search and policy analysis, university surveys for faculty and staff, students and
alumni have already been planned and scheduled for 1996 through 2001.
Department heads and directors should work with us to get the data they need
without oversurveying respondents, Dr. Baldwin said. We have survey design
software, scanning equipment and other tools that make the job easier.
Call the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, 2077, or email
bbaldwin @selu.edu for more information.
