  3. Presentation on RACI Framework
    • Dean Couzis gave a PowerPoint presentation titled AI-Informed Four-Semester Scheduling for Student Learning at CUNY.
    • Highlights included:
      • How do we utilize winter and summer semesters?
      • Can we position this tool to work with Navigate.
      • Curriculum sheets (degree map) are critical to this process.
      • Existing data – admissions profiles (high school info, grades, math, science, units, AP courses, ACT or SAT, GPA, how many withdrawals do they have, etc.)
      • How to get data on why a student withdraw (having the Advisor ask those questions and putting it in Navigate, or the withdrawal forms will help to gather this data).  If a student can withdraw without meeting an Advisor, they need to gather the data in another format.
