Collaborative Groups
GC3 has numerous collaborative groups comprised of faculty and staff from any area of the institution or community member with an interest in resolving the issue or meeting the need. For example, a group of professionals from varous departments amongst several institutions may be interested in retention. A collaborative group may be formed consisting of faculty and staff from a variety of areas throughout the institution which impact retention, the group working together to address retention needs and issues. Participation in the group is not limited to faculty or staff at a specific level or area of the institution.
