Members came up with three possible projects:
1) Offer core classes during Summer Session
2) Offer evening tutoring for evening students
3) Elevators
Our group decided to combine the first two projects into one:
“How to Better Serve Evening Students”.
Problem
As evening students we feel underserved in a variety of ways:
- Difficulty in registering for classes we need – especially required major courses.
- We miss out on student support services that are offered during the day.
- Office hours are during the day for registration, financial aid and the bursar.
Solution
- Improve class availability for evening students by: giving students more choices and having more sections; offering major classes on weekends and during the Summer and Winter Sessions; and allowing students to establish course schedules in advance.
- Provide support services for evening students including: tutoring during evening/weekend hours; evening and/or online advisement; maybe even an evening club that acts as a support group where students can get together and help each other.
- Make it easier for evening students to “do business” by having staff and evening office hours for the Registrar, Bursar, and Financial Aid offices. Also, possibly having a drop box for submitting applications.

April 22nd, 2015
Our group met at at approximately 6:00 pm.
We completed the presentation on slides for our project, “How to Better Serve Evening Students”. Since the majority of the assignment was completed by each individual prior coming to class, we were left to just finalizing the the power point presentation.
The group also had to make a decision as to presentation. We decided that Luis would be the presenter while Carla would control the power point slides at the computer.
Our group was the first group was the first one chosen by Professor Shannon.
We were all very satisfied with our work, participation of the each individual, presenters and the presentation.
