|---|---|---|---|
| Set up Confluence page | Set up a Confluence page that has information about XSEDE EMPOWER, including the number of student positions we hope to fill and the target % of underrepresented minorities. This will help address concerns Linda made about being able to promote the program and allow students to compare it to other programs. | Jennifer Houchins and Aaron Weeden (from Shodor) | February 1, 2017 |
| Discuss ways for students to apply separately | Lorna suggested having a way for students to apply separately if they are interested but do not have a mentor in mind, in particular because some underrepresented students may be interested in participating but may be missed in mentors' recruiting. We should discuss whether it would be manageable for students to apply and for Shodor staff running this program to make an effort to match them, given there is limited budget to support Shodor staff time. | Jennifer Houchins and Aaron Weeden (from Shodor) | February 1, 2017 |
| Discuss ways to prepare mentors | Jay asked what we are doing to prepare mentors and set expectations for them. Discuss ways to do this, such as webinars. | Jennifer Houchins and Aaron Weeden (from Shodor) | February 1, 2017 |
