20. Next Steps
Work Groups will analyze specific SENSE items related to their areas to set goals for improvement
The same Work Groups will work with related CCSSE items
Additionally, faculty work groups will analyze specific CCSSE and CCFSSE items to set goals for improvement
Summaries of goals and strategies resulting from analyses will be reported to their respective deans and vice presidents

21. Proposal to Academic Council (Closing the Loop)
Insert CCSSE and SENSE into annual academic reporting by committees and departments
“What improvements have you made based on nationally-normed student survey results (e.g., CCSSE, SENSE, CCFSSE, Noel Levitz Student Satisfaction Inventory)?”
Change Academic Council reporting form to include these new goals
Goals should be included within department goals and strategic planning
Goals are due from Work Groups by the end of the Fall Semester to their deans and vice presidents
