Joseph asks whether CUNY will create a working group or task force. Vine describes an existing model that brings faculty from about eight colleges together with materials and student work to make a system-wide recommendation.

Rita C. Joseph

Does that mean putting a working group together to make it happen?

Rita C. Joseph

Is that a task force within your colleagues?

Rita C. Joseph

How does that, what does that look like?

Alyssa Vine

Yeah, so we have an existing model for coordinating collaborative evaluation of multiple CUNY colleges.

Alyssa Vine

We generally bring together faculty from around eight colleges to, and we support them by gathering all related materials, putting them in touch with experts on

the learning experience that they're evaluating, helping them in this case connect also with students who have earned the Seal of Civic Readiness, sample projects,

Alyssa Vine

all the material to really help them understand the relevance of the Seal of Civic Readiness to college curriculum so that they can come up with a recommendation that then will be shared across all CUNY colleges for consideration and implementation.
